Not much to update other than I’ve returned from Canada and have been busy running a couple of presentations around the place, most recently heading up to Manchester for a night to help Alex Scordellis out with the Manchester Geek Night he’s running regularly. I ran a session called The Agile Primer, essentially an introduction to agile methods. We had a great turn out and I particularly enjoyed the discussion that ensued both during the session and at the pub afterwards. It still seems that, at least in that one pub up north, they shut relatively early. My only regret about the trip was that I didn’t get to stay longer and see Manchester because the weather was so nice.
Yesterday I helped out an analyst group with their Master Class on Agile. Liz Keogh and I pair-presented on ThoughtWorks’ experiences and lessons learned with distributed development, titling the session Distributed Agile: An Oxymoron?. We then followed this up with the XP Lego Game that helped people keep awake after plenty of talking and a heavy lunch.
All the slides and resources, you can continue to find on my page of presentations and papers.
