Event Description

Presentation Abstract:

With the long overdue major changes in the 2011 Scrum Guide, there is a new sheriff in town. User Stories are out(sort of), and Backlog Grooming is in. Come find out why Release Planning is out, and Servant Leadership is in. There are also significant changes to the Product Owner role. We'll cover the major changes, as well as some of the more subtle changes that could have a big impact. Learn how to make the most of the changes and how to transition your team to Scrum 2.0.

He is Sun Certified in Java, and has 14 years of experience in J2EE application development across all tiers. He has also picked up some good C# experience along the way as well.

He lives in Denver, Colorado, and he is easily found on LinkedIn.

Comment by Frank Vega on January 24, 2012 at 8:36pm: Hi All,

I want to thank all of you who attended our Agile Denver presentation last night. We had an impressive 80+ people show up for this event.

I also want to thank Charles Bradley for volunteering to present on the “new” changes in the 2011 Scrum Guide, as there was definitely some interest in hearing about this topic. Thanks also to those who volunteered to help out with facilitating the exercise that Charles led us through.

Pics from last night’s presentation are posted below.

Again, please share with Brad, Som, Walt, and me, topics that you'd be interested in seeing (and volunteering to present on :>). We really do want to hear from many more out there, from your latest real world on the floor experiences. If presenting is the issue holding you back, I’m confident we can do what I've seen done at other conferences, where we "team" you up with someone to "coach and advise" as you prepare your presentation. Team presentations work too. Agile Denver is really a great opportunity for you to improve and tune a presentation prior to submitting it for presenting at a larger conference. 

Lastly, we continue to prepare for our Mile High Agile 2012 conference to be held first week in April. If you are interested in helping or presenting, please contact Brad, Som, Walt, or me soon (today is not too early :>). We have a number of volunteers already who have agreed to lead a Conference Area of Responsibility (CARs we call them, and they are the CAR Drivers). But we welcome more help. This is a great opportunity for you to network with others in the broader Agile Denver community as well as to share your experiences.

Take care,

Frank
