Some of my talks in 2008

Smart use cases. Past present and future

Keynote at Smart Use Case Conference, Capgemini Conference Center, Utrecht, Netherlands, May 28, 2008
Capgemini has organized an inspiring conference on the subjects of smart use cases. This event took place at Capgemini’s conference center in Utrecht. The large number of delegates witnessed talks on smart use cases, smart estimation, smart use cases in agile projects, project management and smart use cases, requirements management and rapid solution workshops for establishing smart use cases. As one of the founding father of these techniques, I delivered the keynote.
