I wanted to take a minute to thank Agileee for having me this year. It really was a great conference- great speakers, great crowd, great city. I learned a lot and met some interesting folks, and must say that Kiev, you changed my opinion of vodka .

Session hopping? Make sure you attend Damon Poole’s session, Scrum and Kanban, Like Chocolate and Peanut Butteron Wednesday, August 10th, at 3:30 PM in Imperial Ballroom A. You may wonder how Kanban can help with your real-world process problems. Damon will discuss Kanban from a Scrum perspective, show how the Lean practice of “One Piece Flow” is the key to both, and look at how to mix and match Scrum and Kanban to fine tune a process that fits your circumstances.
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 a 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!
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.
