DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper<\/a>: it’s all about community <\/a>– join a community or user group today!<\/p>\n

Well, here I am eight days after the event itself finding the time to blog about it. Many others have got in before me, namely:<\/p>\n

Benjamin Mitchell<\/a>
\nSimon Software Stuff<\/a> over at harriyott.com
\nBizTalk Benjy<\/a> otherwise known as Santosh Benjamin (it might be the other way around!)
\nCharles Cook<\/a>
\nPlip<\/a>
\nIan Cooper<\/a>
\nMike Pelton<\/a> (ok, so it’s a pre-event post, but I liked Mike’s writing style!)
\nIan Smith<\/a>
\nBarry Dorrans<\/a>
\nJon Rowett<\/a> – thanks for the positive feedback!
\nDave Oliver<\/a> – thanks for the positive feedback!
\n.net mobile blogs<\/a> – thanks for the positive feedback!
\nAnd of course, the Channel 9 forum<\/a> has some feedback that I’ll pick up on for next time!<\/p>\n

I was very pleased with the day. I was especially pleased with all the support that Jonathan Hodgson<\/a> provided – Jonathan set up the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper<\/a> web-site in record time (if I didn’t know better, I’d think Jonathan had too much time on his hands!) Incidentally, Jonathan gets married in the summer – congrats! Also worthy of a special mention are Sarah Brown, Melita Walton, Karen Allen and a whole host of backroom folks who rarely get thanked: chefs, security, audio-visual folks and hosts\/hostesses.<\/p>\n

Out of 250 registered attendees, 170+ turned up: to the other 70 or so who didn’t turn up, we know who you are!! (See you all at the next one!)<\/p>\n

Volunteer to speak!<\/strong>
\nWhilst I didn’t actually make it to any sessions, except my own (which was kind of fortunate for the other attendees!), the feedback has been excellent. A follow-up event looks like it will happen (although I can’t tell you when just yet). <\/p>\n

In preparation for a follow-up event, I will be happy to receive e-mails from “would-be speakers”, volunteer speakers, or any community member <\/a>wishing to speak at a similar event. And if you happen to live in Scotland, I’m sure ScottishDevelopers <\/a>will provide you with an equally relaxed and friendly speaking environment! <\/p>\n

In both cases, drop me an e-mail to register your interest – let me know what topics you would be interested in speaking about. (My e-mail address can be found via here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Managing Iterative Development Using Scrum – slides and backlog<\/a><\/strong>
\nA lot of folks asked me (either in my session or afterwards) about tool support for Scrum. My slide deck<\/a> made mention that most tools were either web-based, still in development or were rather expensive. So here’s an update:<\/p>\n

VersionOne<\/a> – VersionOne, built from the ground up to support iterative development, is the leading project planning and management tool designed specifically for agile software development. Enabling today\u2019s most popular agile methodologies – Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum, DSDM, etc. – VersionOne has been helping teams simplify the process of planning, tracking, analyzing, and scaling their agile software development efforts since January 2003.<\/p>\n

ScrumWorks<\/a> – ScrumWorks\u2122 is an Agile process automation tool that enables teams to self-organize and maximize productivity. ScrumWorks\u2122 is based on the Scrum process, a leading Agile development method, and can be applied across industries including engineering, marketing and sales, new product development, and software development. <\/p>\n

Older<\/a> Scrum stuff.<\/p>\n

Linda Rising<\/a> had an excellent article in IEEE Software<\/a> called The Scrum Software Development Process for Small Teams<\/a>. She also had an article in STQE<\/a> magazine about the Daily Scrum Meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
