Agile 2010 Retrospective

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 Agile 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.

AccuRev has been down in Orlando at Agile 2010 for almost a full week 017 300x225 Scrum And Kanban Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter now, and if you haven’t stopped by the booth to say hello to us yet, I encourage you to do so!

Damon Poole, AccuRev CTO, wrapped up a series of three Agile sessions today, and was pleased with the outcome.

“I think the sessions went really well, people were excited for them, I was excited for them, but ultimately I hope everybody learned something valuable” said Damon.

His presentations were titled “Scrum and Kanban- Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter,” “Getting Managers and Agile Teams Out of Each Others Hair,” and “Managing Growth Pains on the Way to 40 Scrum Teams.” (See “Three Days with Damon Poole on Agile Development and its Components” for more info).

Damon’s first session at Agile 2010, “Scrum and Kanban- Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter,” attracted a large crowd, and unfortunately several people were turned away. But as he promised, we are posting all of his presentations in the AccuRev blog. You can download Damon’s presentation of “Scrum and KanBan- Like Chocolate and Peanut Butter” here. Enjoy!
