Hello,
 
As a member of Agile Iowa, I would like to invite you to attend a free "Day In The Life of an Agile Development Team" similation. This is a single-day agile project simulation offered by Pillar Technology. It provides a full day of hands on practice on how to develop software using iterative and incremental methods. There is more information on the specifics of the class below. Developers, Analysts, Project Managers, Quality Analysts, and Management are all invited to attend.

We are offering this class in Des Moines on March 26th.
 
If you or someone from your team would like to attend please feel free to register. Multiple people can register with the same discount code.
 

Please use the discount code Pillar2013 when registering. The course is free once the discount code is applied.
 
Notes on the class:
 
Pillar has designed a single-day agile project simulation that is engaging, educational, provocative, and fun. We divide attendees into teams and use a GUI-based Integrated Development Environment. Each team spends most of the day breaking down and completing an agile project. This Simulation introduces concepts like time-boxed iterations, user stories, collective estimation, commitment to a product owner for iteration scope, formal verification ritual at iteration conclusion, tracking velocity, and making results big and visible through burndown or burn-up charts. The exercise is designed to simulate not only how agile teams and practices work, but the inevitable challenges and hiccups that arise as teams attempt to adopt several such practices at the same time.


Thank you,
 
Mark Davidson
