March Meeting...?
Robert Burrell Donkin
reaction and so on
Do we (as a group) have a planet (to collect posts from the community)?
Are notes on the meeting available?

Hi Robert
Six of us were in the conversation, which ended up not a fishbowl, but me reading parts of the report and us then debating it. Interestingly, I found myself defending a government Agile report in quite a few places :-) That said, many people pointed out flaws that I'd missed. One notable one was ensuring that the Senior Responsible Officer (if I get the name right) was around for the duration of a project - I think it was Martin Wass who pointed out that if done badly, people then see that as a ball and chain, and can act is a disincentive.
Sadly there are no notes as Jag was busy doing other work, and was unable to fulfil his usual journalistic notes, and obviously I was busy reading. I'm not sure given the time since the meeting and the half-life of my memory that I could do it justice now.
There isn't a planet, but funnily enough I've seen a few planets recently and the idea of a blog aggregator is interesting. I don't know how many people write systems thinking blog posts though (I don't - yet!). If there are enough interested parties however, it might be worth setting up. Thoughts anyone?
Cheers
Ash
