Hello AgileATX, Please join us for our first Open Space conference! Event: Agile Austin Open Space Conference Date: May 30, 2008 6pm - 8pm May 31, 2008 9am -...
I'm not sure how to assign credibility to an agile open spaces that believes that management and technical staff are separate bodies of people in an agile...
One way to look at it is this: Engineers and developers talk refactoring, test fixtures, BDD, TDD, unit tests and so forth. Executives talk ROI, governance,...
These are arbitrary lines that don't exist in the real life of an agile organization. Those of us who have been at the agile game for a long time and who sell...
I would have to lean toward Scott Bellware on this one. For me, an individual from the executive ranks, Agile is about behavior and a different way of...
Scott & Stephen, This is a wonderfully thought provoking discussion. I agree with every point you made but the last sentence. It is certainly true that these...
As a VP of Dovetail Software, I wanted to respond to the so-called "meltdown of Dovetail". Without airing company dirty laundry in public, there were a number...
Meltdown was a poor choice of words. I retract it. I should have used "turmoil". I certainly did not mean to imply that Dovetail or Callaway did not or does...
Of the attempts at Agile I have seen or have some knowledge of, it seems one of the main causes of failure is the lack of change up the management chain. I...
I've been uncomfortable with the separate tracks of the conference, but I haven't spoken up because I also did not volunteer to do the work to put it on. (I...
Well said Chad. I couldn't agree more. - Scott K. _____ From: AgileATX@yahoogroups.com [mailto:AgileATX@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Chad Myers Sent: Sunday,...
Sharon, Several comments buried within your response. _____ From: AgileATX@yahoogroups.com [mailto:AgileATX@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Sharon Cichelli Sent:...
Scott, We did three projects over two years using agile at Dovetail after I had come on board to get the agile transformation happening. Two of them were ...
NOTICE: This conversation has moved into a non-public channel. For those in the public channel who may have perceived dead air here, please be aware that the...
Nicely said, Chad. Just a brief statement in support of Callaway for everyone's benefit, from the former VP of Technology. Callaway is still operating under ...
Semantics, I know, but 'track' implies a rail-road track (at least in my mind) and that I'm going that way and I can't be jumping tracks. That violates my...
From the page http://openspace.agileaustin.org/index.php?title=Agile_Open_Space_Austin : "Registration There are two types of registrations for the Agile...
I've been to four Open Spaces this year. I've witnessed at every one of these open spaces a natural ability for the participants to realize their own areas of...
Having read the other email thread on this topic, I withdraw my question :) I think Sharon and Scott K had good thoughts on this in that thread. michael On...
Not everything is a big catastrophe, Scott. Scott K is trying to get more non-developers to come to these events and he wants to use Open Spaces (victory!)...
I changed the registration site to state "Engineering Focus" and "Management Focus". The term does capture the intention better. Thanks for the suggestion...
With respect, Chad, I think it's easy for you to have such an opinion because of your position in community in regards to change agency. I'm not swimming in...
The distinction isn't necessary, and worse, it threatens to sub optimize the potential for what can happen at an Open Spaces. And because it's not essential,...
That's great. I'm assuming if I sign up for the Management Focus, that I can still attend sessions from the other Focus, right? I do think Scott Bellware...
Scott B., Clearly the organizers of this conference (myself included) could benefit from your experience with this kind of conference structure. Are you...
There will be one Open Space. The focus will simply help the organizers from Agile Austin get a sense of the community participation. There will be one...
There are three options that you can choose from going forward. Two will restore integrity to the event, one will not. One of those two protects the ...
Doc, It's clear and obvious that the division is for demographic information. That was never in question. But you say this as if the demographics are merely...
It has not now, nor ever been the intention of Agile Austin, the Agile Austin Open Space steering committee, or me to foment such a vitriolic discussion. We...
