From the QSM Associates Announcement:

Why might you care?  If you recall, both Follett and BMC were featured as "poster children" - case studies for the fastest time-to-market and lowest defects for building software applications in two recent webinars I hosted via the Cutter Consortium.  We measured this using the QSM SLIM models against industry data collected worldwide from years of research.  These two webinars were among the highest attended at Cutter, and the questions wouldn't stop coming. so we decided to add this special session and invite you to take part.  If your management is constantly pressing you to meet tight deadlines, or encouraging that work just be sent offshore, then you'll want to hear how Kim and Mike dealt with similar demands and built a world-class, industry-beating agile team.
This event will allow you to ask Kim and Mike questions that they will answer, live and unrehearsed about what's in their "secret sauce."  The format will be an interactive Q&A session around the real-world technical and people issues they addressed and how they "got Agile."  I get to start the session with a PBS-Charlie Rose style chat, and then we'll open it up to the audience.
