Announcing Partner Workshops & Open of Registration

Mon, 2010-08-16 10:22 — Michael Sahota

In addition to the main conference, the Toronto Agile Community is pleased to announce 4 parter workshops to provide in-depth learning opportunities to the community.

Drama Tech - Discover the secret ingredients for high-performing Agile teams. Learn how to collaborate, communicate, and innovate using methods from the theatre.
Kanban 101: Evolving your Agile process through Kanban and Lean - Kanban for Lean Software Development is quickly becoming adopted by Agile software teams as the next Agile software process since it much easier to adopt than Scrum.
Learning and Teaching with Agile Games - "Learning by doing" is what makes games an effective training tool. We will play a variety of games to teach Agile and Lean practices so that participants can learn through playing.
Agile Analysis in Practice - ThoughtWorks presents Agile Analysis in Practice - a highly interactive learning workshop that builds on existing software development skills and instills specific practices on how to more effectively work with business and software development teams throughout the lifecycle of an Agile project.

Workshop cost is $550 with $50 discount if you register at the same time as the conference and an addition $50 discount for early bird.

Registration is Open

We are excited to announce that registration is now open. Come join us for a great conference.

Enterprise 2.0 Meets Agile - XPToronto April 2010 Meeting

Thu, 2010-04-08 14:42 — Lawrence Ludlow

Both Agile and Enterprise 2.0 share a fundamental concept of emergence over
structure. The use of wikis, blogs, and group-messaging software is nothing new
to many forward thinking Agile Management advocates. In this presentation on
Enterprise 2.0 and Agile/XP, Robert Lavigne will further expand the mindsets and
toolsets available, while addressing some of the core cultural issues that have
halted expansion to the larger business community in the past.

A background presentation on Enterprise 2.0 is available here:

major projects and 15 commercialized products in both Startup and Enterprise
