Tomorrow is going to be a very Agile Day! For me, this presents both good news and bad news.
The good news is I’m finally going to get my ScrumMaster certification through AgileUniversity / RallySoftware. I’ve been trying to get in this class for months, but I’ve needed to go through a lot of paperwork “stuff” to get it approved through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program.
The bad news is that I’ll have to miss tomorrow’s SQuAD meeting which will be demonstrating Agile using a Scrum methodology to determine the group’s agenda for 2010. This looks like a really interesting meeting with presenters: Frank Vega – Agile Coach; Lisa Crispin & Charity Stoner – Scrum Masters.
I’ve seen Lisa online (not to mention on the bookshelves at Borders) and I’ve really wanted to meet her! Quite the bummer that I’ll have to miss this one. Unfortunately, the Agile class ends at 5pm in Boulder and the SQuAD meeting runs 4-6pm in Denver, and with rush-hour traffic, there’s no way I’d be able to do both. C’est la vie. I’m going to see if I can set up a call with Lisa so I might be able to pick her brain and maybe get a podcast for the blog. If any of you are attending tomorrow’s SQuAD session, be sure and report back about what you learned!
