Phoenix Scrum User Group
Last night Rich and I gave a talk on Agile best practices to the Phoenix Scrum User Group. The talk covered all aspects of our process, including setting the Scrum and XP dials to eleven. We talked about how we were able to build Agilebuddy from start to finish in just under six months and how we were able to start using Agilebuddy to track our own progress from the 3rd week of development. This sort of thing was almost unheard of a couple years ago.
Additionally we talked about Lean, and how that is starting to make an impact on Software development teams around the world and how we take advantage of some of the lean philosophies of minimizing work-in-progress. Rich finished off with an overview of Test Driven Development in the Rails environment including recommendations on how to start and what to watch out for. At the end, there was a short demo on Agilebuddy. Overall, the presentation was well received.
Here are the slides from our presentation





I have received many requests to assist with Agile training and deployment. I am humbled by your interest and, being a huge proponent of Agile, want to help any way I can by providing consulting where I am able to.
