December 17, 2008 6:30 PM - 9 attended
Practitioner Discussion (SV Agile + BayXP + Cupertino Agile)
Third joint meeting of Sillicon Valley Agile with BayXP and Cupertino Agile.
As last time, this meeting will be run as an Open Space*. Each person should come with a topic they are interested in discussing. I will collect the topics, we'll vote on them and set the agenda for the rest of the evening.
Topic proposals can cover any subject related to Agile, but the best topics will relate to some real current problem or recent accomplishment. The scale of the proposed topics can vary. If we have a lot of small topics ("Any recommendations for testing my AJAX app?") then we'll cover more items than if we have larger ("How do you do your iteration planning?") or more controversial topics ("Is Scrum Evil?").
Previous topics included:
- Advice for engaging a traditional QA organization as you transition to Agile?
- Scrum adoption experience report
- Redefining what "done" means
- What metrics for outside consumption to show things getting better?
Topic collection and agenda creation will start at 6:30.
* We will roughly follow the Salt Lake Agile Roundtable protocol

Joanna ZweigThis was fun to get together and share thoughts about Agile questions. Thanks to all for your participation.

Ted YoungLoving the open space model and the wide variety of experience from people who are in the trenches. And, as always, being able to talk about ideas has helped me clarify them and sometimes I end up disagreeing with myself.

César IdrovoThis was an excellent opportunity to discuss a number of topics in some depth. Where there was a need, the group was very engaged in trying to understand real issues and offering their own experience to help address them. Where there was an opportunity, the group picked up on new ideas and explored their wider implications and applications. One strong indicator of the value to those attending is that we went on until after 9pm but breaking up and leaving probably took close to another hour!
