Fwd: [agile-29] [ANN] Optimizing Software Development

Hi all,

Several people asked me to forward on the information about this  
meeting. Thanks again for having me out to speak this week.

By the way, the Career 2.0 blog is here: http:// 
career20.blogspot.com/  I gave that talk at the RTP JUG last year (if  
memory serves). We currently collecting people's stories about their  
career strategies and I'd love to have more local people contribute.

> Hi everyone,
>
> This isn't an Agile RTP meeting, but several people asked me to send  
> an announcement around since it's a meeting with a strong Agile  
> message.
>
> My employer, NFJS One (http://NFJSone.com) is sponsoring a local  
> meeting on the 27th. I'll be speaking on using Agile techniques to  
> optimize your teams. In the current economy very few of us are  
> hiring... most companies are asking us to get more done with the  
> same number of people. There are several key practices that Agile  
> methodologies bring to the table that do a great job of keeping a  
> team focused and on track.
>
> Agile practices keep your team focused on their goals, minimizes the  
> work load, and ensure the work is spent where it needs to be.  
> Eliminating waste while focusing the team is what Agile is all about.
>
> Feel free to attend if you're a developer, but we'd really love for  
> you to bring your manager and tech leads to this meeting with you.  
> The goal is to get them on board with Agile ideas because they're  
> also optimization techniques.
>
> NFJS One is providing free pizza and sodas. We'll also be raffling  
> off a $200 Apple store gift card and a free pass to the Ruby RX  
> conference (http://www.nfjsone.com/conference/raleigh/2008/02/index.html 
> )
