The Software Process and Measurement Cast features my interview with Jeff Dalton.\xa0 Jeff returns to the Software Process and Measurement Cast to discuss the 12 attributes of successful Agile organizations. Jeff talks about the relatively small set of attributes that successful Agile organizations possess and exhibit.
