Hi all In return for some of the amazing stuff I've learned from MXPEG, I've offered to help organize the group for a little while. As I see it, what we need...
Hi folks Here are some ideas for presentations. There haven't been any venues or speakers volunteer yet. It might be fun to try a lightning talk format. We'd...

I've used VersionOne for this. Yes it does cost money, but it does a good job with the tracking, producing metrics and organising stories into releases and...
I don't use VersionOne, but I liked it when I looked at it. We chose Jira because our main problem was handling our backlog, not planning our iterations, and...
Based on peoples experience introducing XP in companies and projects. What are the easiest and most effective practices to implement initially? My current role...
You have to address what hurts the most - that varies from place to place. CI doesn't involve other people necessarily, but takes time. TDD you can do on your...
