I had a great time meeting a bunch of cool Agilists at the Agile Boston meeting on this past Wednesday night. I had a chance to present on a topic I am particularly passionate about: Agile Metrics and Diagnostics.
Thanks to everyone from the Mass Bay PMI Chapter for coming to see me speak about Agile in the Enterprise. It was a great discussion and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have made my slides available from tonight’s presentation, they can be downloaded here.
Also, several people expressed some interest in local Agile groups so that they could learn more. I would point out three specific ones that have monthly meetings and support vibrant communities of both learners and practitioners:
I recently spoke at the two Agile Journal Events; one in Boston and one in Newark and I spoke as the keynote about Agile Software Development and how there is so much more value to it than just turning out software faster, cheaper and with less defects.
There really is a lot of say about this, and I intend to write more, but for now I wanted to make my presentation available. It can be downloaded here: Agile Beyond Faster, Cheaper and Less Defects
Many thanks to the people who attended this presentation. Their comments and observations were very good and helpful. Getting this type of feedback is great!. You can download a copy from this location. The impact of Agile Architect Teams in Scaling Enterprise Efforts
I apologize for the delay in posting this presentation. Here is the third, and final presentation we offered at the Mass Bay Professional day on May 2nd. Presented by Giora Morein, it is focused on the challenges an organization faces as they try to grow an Agile initiative beyond a single team.
This Saturday, Giora and I were invited to speak at the Massachusetts Bay PMI Chapter’s professional day. Thanks to everyone who contributed to a great dialog about Agile and project management. I have included the two of the presentations we went through and hopefully we’ll have the 3rd one out shortly.
