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.
Experienced Agile practitioners
from throughout Boston attend and present at
our meetings.
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.
The leader of the group
is Dan Mezick. You can learn more about Dan on this
web site. Dan is a Scrum Coach
who is an invited speaker to events like Agile2007,
Agile2008 and Agile2009. Learn more about Dan here
Anyone can attend a meeting
provided you are willing to participate in making the
meeting
a success.
We run
mock exercises 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.
This web site contains
everything you need to learn more and attend a meeting.
Scrum and Agile are gaining
a tremendous amount of traction recently. A recent
search of DICE.COM indicated over 1000
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.
Attending a meeting is simple:
send us an email indicating your planned attendance,
and show
up. We meet at Microsoft
office in Waltham MA. See you at the next meeting
!
