Tim Bacon will be talking this month about the focus in an Agile rollout is the change required and not so much on “Agile”. This will be an exciting discussion and will certainly give pause to think of Agile in a different light.

Tim specialises in assisting teams or organisations to introduce Agile software development methods such as Scrum or XP. He is a passionate “people person” and an advocate of test driven development and software craftsmanship, with over a decade’s experience working with software development teams in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. Tim enjoys his work most when helping teams to see that they can produce more and better software with less stress.

Time and Date: Tuesday November 10th: Networking from 6:00 – 6:30; Presentation from 6:30 to 8:00

Location: the Code Factory (2nd Floor – 246 Queen Street), you need to buzz for the elevator.

    Hello! Hot off of the heals of our mock retrospective meeting, we will hold our first end-of-year retrospective. I'll come prepared with post-it notes and tiny circle stickers for us to play with. Hopefully we will develop a list of action items to improve meetings for 2010. The second half of the meeting will be a group forum discussion regarding the impact that an organization's management structure ( matrix, functional, etc ) has on adopting Scrum. Pizza and refreshments will be served!
