I'm with Rob voting for a more advanced coverage of Agile, for me the hardest part of getting Agile at companies was in the details.
Everybody _wanted_ Agile, even executives had heard that it was the "right" way to do things, but that didn't make it happen. What we needed then was some real concrete advice on how to get things going, and someone to look at our process and point out all the toxic things that we were still doing. Eventually I made progress on my own, but I think it would have been a lot faster if we could have gotten some pragmatic advice from people who had gone before us. (So in summary: I'm looking forward to the meeting) -Nic On Mar 24, 2010, at 9:35 PM, Rob Kaufman wrote: > Hey Joon, > My talk is about the when and where, it sounds like you are focusing > more on the how.
