Wow! This is indeed beeing a busy exciting week. I’m attending XP2011 as a speaker and I’m not only the only spanish guy with tutorial, session and invited talks, but one of the folks with the most sessions. Thanks XP!
I taught a tutorial on the topic of Agile Management on Monday. Unfortunately, I overcrowded the presentation and my session was cut down from four ours to three, so I only managed to reach slide eighty-something. Still, I received great feedback, specially on the Manager vs. Scrummaster duties slides and excercise. Negative feedback was, as usual, “need more time”, which I tend to take as another positive feedback (hey, after three hours of Agile torture you still want more?
).
Yesterday I facilitated (and participated, which I shouldn’t have done, ouch!) at a fishbowl session on Agile Contracts with Mary Poppendieck and some great folks from the European Space Agency. We had very interesting insights from guys from NOrway, which seems to be the promised land of Agile Contracts (searh Google for “PS200″
). I also made a one hour invited talk on the topic of Scrumban, which was a great success: 52 people showed up, that was 30 % of the conference, a huge crowd considering there are six simultaneous tracks. Hope you find the slides useful:
Still I have to make a lightning talk on Command & Control,which I will possibly *not* upload as slides have no text and will be very difficult to understand without the speech, but maybe I’ll find time to make a reading-meant version
. Oh, and please link this post! I want page rank! paaaa-ge raaaa-aaaaank…!!
