The IT Executive Exchange (ITEE) is a forum for IT Executives and College of Business Administration professors at The University of Akron.   Meetings take place every six to eight weeks to discuss pressing and leading edge issues. The purpose of this forum is to have a healthy exchange of ideas that will be useful to all attendees.  It is sponsored by the Center for Information Technologies and eBusiness (CITe) of the University of Akron’s College of Business Administration. Next ITEE Meeting   March 15, 2013 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm Location: Murphy Room   Topic: Mobile Software Development With the explosive growth of mobile devices, apps, and interfaces with all sorts of corporate systems, mobile software development is taking center stage. Come discuss with your peers how you are adapting your software development methodologies to the mobile world? Is the waterfall method finally defunct? Do you prefer some form of agile, scrum, or extreme programming? What is working best, and what are your greatest current pain points? Parking passes and directions will be sent a week before the meeting. Interested in attending?
