Hello,
The Agile NCR user group is announcing their first Community Event, a workshop
themed "Introduction to Agile" to be organized on 28th June. Registrations are
now open, there are no fees for participation but we would ask prior
registrations. Please visit http://agilencr.wikidot.com/events for registration.
Currently there are no limitations on the number of participants, but depending
on the venue we may decide to limit the numbers, in which case, preference will
be given to people who register earlier.
Why Should I attend?
If you are associated with developing software there are everyday problems which
must have made you ponder "is there a better way of building software?".
Consider this workshop to highlight the issues in software development and to
gain an introduction to Agile Software development.
What is different in this workshop?
This will be a hands on Introduction to Agile workshop that will benefit, a
agile newbie as much as an agile practitioner. The workshop will give you a
background of agile practices and expose you to SCRUM + XP the two leading agile
methods being practiced worldwide.
The Workshop format is interactive and the workshop will aim to equip the
participants with enough knowledge to get them started on their agile journey.
We are also planning an informal lunch and networking session for the agile
community.
Hmm... Free? whats the catch?
Normally this quality of workshops would cost you atleast Rs 5000 or upwards. So
why are we doing this? We are a bunch of agile software development enthusiasts
in the NCR region and would like to grow the community of agile practitioner's.
We sustain on corporate and individual sponsors who see value in supporting
these events, we are not out to make money. This is a for the community, by the
community and of the community event.
Great! so how do I sign up ?
Please visit http://agilencr.wikidot.com/events and register.
I am excited! How do I join this community?
There is nothing to join, you can become the part of the community by
volunteering to help organize events, meet ups, get sponsors and with other
sundry tasks. Stay tuned to http://agilencr.wikidot.com for updates. This is a
first in series community workshops from agilencr, we are subsequently planning
for similar workshops themed "Agile for Developers", "Agile for ToolSmiths",
"Agile for Project Managers" etc.
