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
