WBMA 2019 · Agile Brazil

Welcome to the 10th Brazilian Workshop on Agile Methods (WBMA) -- Agile Brazil'2019

Belo Horizonte/MG, Brazil, September 11, 2019

The 10th Brazilian Workshop on Agile Methods (WBMA’2019) is the research track in the Agile Brazil conference. WBMA is an academic event that focuses on agile software development. This year’s edition comes with a history of success. Our past editions received an expressive number of paper submissions. They also featured a number of attendees (students, researchers, and practitioners) from different countries. We hope to repeat this success this year and influence even more the integration between industry and academia. We believe this integration can create ideas, opportunities and innovations for all involved.

Last year, the Agile Brazil conference has received more than 500 attendees from all over the world. This year, our expectation is that the workshop will receive even more researchers, students, and practitioners from Brazil and abroad. This year, WBMA’2019 will be held on September 11th, in Belo Horizonte/MG - Brazil. The workshop will be included in the Agile Brazil schedule.
