Come Hear Damon at Nashua Scrum Club

August 25th, 2010 by AccuRev

Damon headshot2 Come Hear Damon at Nashua Scrum ClubWho? Damon Poole, AccuRev Founder and CTO, Agile expert and popular speaker.

What? Presenting “True Agility Requires Us to Re-examine Our Beliefs” for Nashua Scrum Club.

Where?  45 High Street, Nashua, NH 03060

When? Thursday, September 9, 2010

Why should you attend? Damon says “Too many projects that “go Agile” are actually far from true Agility. They end up reverting to old habits or just change the labels on the activities that they are doing without changing what they actually do on a day to day basis. As a result, many so-called “Agile” projects get few if any of the benefits of Agile and some are even worse off than before! Why does this happen?”

This session will give you an opportunity to uncover and re-examine your mental model of software development by taking a look at the top ten Agile blind spots. This will allow you to discover the blind spots you or your organization may have so that you can work towards removing them and start experiencing the full benefits that true Agility offers.

Agile 2010 Retrospective

August 17th, 2010 by damonpoole

As you have been seeing in the blog and on AccuRev’s Twitter feed, I spent last week at Agile 2010.  I thought it was aAgile Retrospective great show- I met a lot of interesting people, led three big Agile sessions, and even got to ride Epcot’s Test Track.  It was definitely a fun and eventful week in Orlando!

To thank you for your support this year, I promised to post my presentations in the AccuRev blog. The presentation from my first Agile 2010 session, Scrum and Kanban-Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter, has already been posted in case you missed it or were turned away.  (Agile 2010 volunteers ended up brining extra chairs into the event room but lots of people were turned away due to fire code restrictions.)

Here are the other two presentations I gave later on during the conference week, enjoy!

Damon’s Agile 2010 Retrospective

In an effort to drum up ideas for next year’s Agile conference, I started asking some of the people I met with, “Why do you come to conferences like this?” I received a variety of answers and created a little retrospective video, all with my iPhone 4 and iMovie.
