I'm just back from a wonderful time in Taos NM and ready to focus on my professional life again. It's time to send a reminder about a terrific conference coming up later this month.
Agile Open Northwest, an alliance of agile practitioners in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, presents "Agile Open Northwest 2007: Agile for Real" January 30-31, 2007 in Portland, Oregon at McMenamins'
Kennedy School, one of my favorite places.
This conference is for you. We invite 100 experienced, collaborative, committed agile practitioners from the Northwest and beyond to join us in tackling issues around the theme of agile development in the real world. The Northwest has a wealth of practitioners with years of real-world experience with agile methods and self-organizing teams. Agile Open Northwest offers an opportunity to strengthen our community of practice and co-create the future for agile development.
