There are a slew of great techniques coming out of the Agile space, but 
getting your team to adopt these new ideas can be difficult. In fact,

In this talk we'll discuss various techniques for introducing change of 
any type, how to help your changes succeed, and how to pick the best 
techniques for your shop.
