Waterfall, Agile or Somewhere In-Between? Incorporating Agile Practices into Software Development Projects

Many companies are aware of the advantages that agile methodologies have over the traditional waterfall method for software design, however difficulties with implementation often make it just impractical.

To get around this, many people experiment with agile for small parts of a project, or possibly make use of a hybrid model such as the “V-Model”, while keeping waterfall aspects for the purpose of regulatory documentation and submissions.

The Agile Software Development for Healthcare Summit gathers together some of the world’s leading experts – independent coaches and professionals from medical device manufacturers alike – for the first time ever in order to help you incorporate more agile aspects into your projects safely and efficiently.

Allowing delegates to hear case studies from their industry peers, discuss their success stories, project pitfalls and key challenges, the event will create a valuable platform for knowledge and experience sharing with an integrated mix of theoretical and case study driven presentations.

Don’t miss on the opportunity to attend Europe’s first Agile Development for Healthcare Conference in order to feel more confident about becoming more agile and ultimately enabling yourself to reduce your development cycle times, create more flexibility and increase your end product superiority!


So what topics will the event actually cover?

  • Regulatory affairs: how do I meet the standards mapped out by IEC 62 304?
  • Effective approaches to documentation during an agile project
  • Ensuring buy in and support for agile from management to practitioners
  • Successfully fitting agile methodologies into your larger project
  • Ensuring fair traceability and coverage
  • Integrating hardware and software development

And who should attend Agile Development for Healthcare?

The following roles working in software development for medical devices, clinical data management, bio banking and any other regulated healthcare sector:

  • Software Development Managers
  • Project Managers
  • Software Engineers
  • Software Architects
  • Heads of Software Development
  • Usability Engineers
  • Regulatory Managers
  • QA Managers
  • CTOs
  • CIOs

"I've attended many agile conferences and seminars in the past, but none have been in relation to the healthcare market. I am keen to get involved in a conference where agile development and regulatory requirements are bought into the same forum. I am looking forward to network with others from the healthcare industry and sharing mu experiences of agile development."
