    It was great to hear the group discussion on different certifications and agile approaches. The knowledge sharing and interaction is what the group is all about. Terry Foster did a great job talking through the different agile methodologies and engaging the group in discussion. It was great to see new and familiar faces as well as have those involved in our virtual meeting pilot from Chicago to Indianapolis! Thank you to Bevill Edge Consulting and Videogenique for making this happen!

    I truly appreciated the group's involvement and investment in itself. We piloted a new technology a littler earlier than expected and received great feedback from remote locations such as, Indianapolis (Dave Marko) and Chicago (Eric Bevill, Steve Segerstrom and the Intermatic, Inc. Team). This was a great example of what IRAUG is all about. Teamwork is an individual contribution and Terry Foster delivered. I am looking forward to further member involvement in planning the future events. Nice Job Everyone.....

    The meeting triggered a cascade of thoughts for me. There was a good discussion on project management certifications in combination with an enlightening presentation by Professor Terry Foster on how various agile methodologies fit into a continuum with project management freedom on one end and control on the other. Those in attendance last night were from multiple companies and Illinois State University. My impression is that this group's dynamic evinces innovative capacity through its member's education, practical experience, openness to new ideas, and the ease of interaction and networking.
  • Dave Marko
    It was good to some new ideas as well as a different viewpoint on some old ideas!
  • Mary Macin
    This was a well-thought-out, well-organized meeting. I really enjoyed the chance to gain a deeper understanding of Agile as it compares to other project management methodologies.
