What’s this agile stuff all about? Come to the next AgileCville meeting and find out!
Our next Agile Cville meeting will be on Tuesday June 28th, from 6-8pm at OpenSpace in Charlottesville. Please note that the date has changed from our regular 3rd Tuesday due to a personal conflict I had on the previous Tuesday.
The topic will be “Agile for Newbies.” For those of you who are new to Agile methods, or have been lurking around the AgileCville list for a while and not joined in a meeting, this is the time to attend!
For those of you experienced with Agile methods, this is your chance to share your knowledge. I’m asking our experienced agile members to sign up for 10-15 minute “lightning talks” on any agile topic that interests you or that you have experience with. Use your time slot to explain the basics of that part of Agile, or to show everyone how to do it. You can even run a quick game or exercise to demonstrate the technique. How you use the time slot is up to you.
Possible topics: Agile planning, story points, retrospectives, stand ups, demos, continuous integration, pair programming, etc.

[I’m pleased to say that we already have a half dozen names of “newbies” I don’t know from the Charlottesville community signed up for this event, right after posting it to the AgileCville mailing list. So I think there is plenty of interest in this meeting – please join us to learn or share your expertise!]
