Publications

This page lists papers by Agile Teams collaborators who have published or presented in conferences, journals, or user group meetings. We share our papers via:

• PDFs, for publications which allow authors to retain distribution privileges (links are gradually being added from the original Publications page).
• links to sources from which the papers can be obtained, with DOIs if available, for other publications.

If you’d like to read an Agile Teams paper which is not directly downloadable, post a comment here or drop us a note. Comments and inquiries are welcome and encouraged!

Presenters’ names are in italics. A colleague’s name at the end in (parentheses)  indicates a person who kindly presented the paper on behalf of one or more authors, but did not directly collaborate on creating this particular work.
