October Agile Beer Night is Thursday!

Do you use User Stories in your agile practice? How good are you at writing user stories? Do you have your product owner write the stories? Or does the team write them? How are your acceptance criteria? This month we'll be looking at how well we write user stories, and some of the techniques (and failings) we have in generating our stories. Please join us at Daman's this Thursday the 27th (the day after tomorrow) from 5:30 - 7:30 to enjoy a beer and discuss User Stories!

See you there!

ABN - New night Last Thursday of the month

There are some other competing events on the last Wednesday of the month, so to avoid this competition and allow everyone to attend all the events, we're moving ABN to the last Thursday instead of Wednesday. This month we'll meet at Daman's at 5:30 on Thursday September 29 for good beer and perhaps even a guest speaker from SalesForce.com to talk about how they have implemented Agile development practice and how it's helped their business. Please feel free to bring your questions, answers, and conversations and join us at Daman's on Thursday the 29th!
