The primary best practice in
Agile software development is Scrum—a
set of methods, roles and rules that can increase software
developer productivity by 10 times if you are willing
to follow the simple rules. We teach and discuss Scrum
and the art and science behind it. We also cover Test
Driven Development, XP and other best-practices under
the Agile umbrella.

We have educational presentations, a focus on Scrum training,
and some informal networking time. We also have some
very interesting group-level exercises in which we develop
expertise and empirical experience in Agile and Scrum.
Anyone can attend a meeting
provided you are willing to participate in making the
meeting a success. We run exercises and games
at the group level that are a lot of fun. Most of these
revolve around Scrum tasks like planning, estimating
and running Sprints. If you are looking for a very fun
way to learn to more and more about Agile and Scrum,
this is the place.

jobs nationally with the word ‘Scrum’ and
over 3000
jobs with the word ‘Agile’.
Come to our events to learn how these methods are transforming
software development worldwide.
