Scrum From an Organizational Perspective

The full Powerpoint deck of Damian’s excellent presentation ["Scrum From an Organizational Perspective"] is now available. You can download the presentation as either a powerpoint file (link) or as a pdf file (link). I’d like to thank both Damian and Qpass/Amdocs for making this material available to the wider community.

ANN: Presentations needed for SeattleScrum

Following Damian’s excellent presentation at the first SeattleScrum,
I’d like to establish a calendar for the rest of the year. There are
some very good reasons why you may want to consider doing this:

• It looks good on your resume,
• Public speaking is difficult, and SeattleScrum provides good
• opportunity to practice in a non-threatening environment,
• Speaking at SeattleScrum is a great way to network and meet people
• from many different organizations,
• Speaking at SeattleScum allows you to increase you’re sphere of influence, and
• It looks great on your resume!!

Any topic that might be of interest to the Scrum community would be
welcome, and we’re looking for presentations that are between 30
minutes and 45 minutes. If you’re interested, the dates available for
the rest of the year are:

• Wednesday, September 26th (at The Cobalt Group)
• Thursday, October 25th (at Qpass)
• Thursday, November 29th (at The Cobalt Group)

If you’re interested, please send a note to SeattleScrum at Gmail dot com, or leave a comment.

First Seattle Scrum meeting was a blast!

The very first Seattle Scrum meeting was held on Thursday evening, and it exceeded my expectations! Although there was only a small number of us, the talk by Damian was excellent … very thoughtful and engaging. I believe everyone walked away with ideas for new possibilities.

I’d like to thank Damian for his presentation and for taking the time to speak to the group!
