Chris Parsons from the Agile Delivery Network talked about his organisation’s work on E-petitions and how, through Agile, they very quickly delivered a website capable of supporting 6.5m visits and 30m page views.

David Hardstaff from Eximium talked about the role of the intelligent buyer within the procurement process: 
agile is successful when the buyer understands what they need, as opposed to what they want, and takes into account trade-offs such as ease versus complexity or open versus secure, which add to the cost and time to deliver a project.
 
Richard Pawson from Naked Objects  talked about his experience working with the Department of Social Protection in Ireland on delivering a benefits administration system. Richard put into context how complicated child payments could be, and explained that this was one of 40 agile projects delivered for DSP.

Mark Foden from Foden Grealy took to the floor, quite literally, when he designed an agile model on the floor with sticky tape and paper, and nimbly leapt from box to box to show how agile can work in practice.
