Reserve Your Spot for DFW Scrum and Martin Fowler
Everything is confirmed for Martin Fowler’s talk at DFW Scrum on TUE Feb 23 at 6:30PM. We are grateful to Sabre Holdings for coordinating with us and providing the space at their beautiful Southlake campus.
As you know, Martin could draw a large number of people to his events. This event is FREE and we will be providing food. While we want to be sure everyone can come, we want to minimize frustration if more people come than can be accommodated. So please make sure that you register on our MeetUp site to secure your seat and food:
http://www.meetup.com/DFWScrum/calendar/12329880/
(if you don’t want to receive updates about DFW Scrum after the event, you can remove yourself from our site)
We will control the final number of people that the room can accommodate on the MeetUp site and we can automatically provide a waiting list if needed. Currently, we have more than enough room based on the number of people currently registered. We look forward to seeing you there.
Martin Fowler Re-Scheduled for February 23 6:30PM
Martin has provided a final re-scheduling date for his visit to Dallas for the DFW Scrum User Group. Again, thank you all for your patience, Martin and his staff have certainly been a delight to work with and we are happy that we were able to get re-scheduled given his very hectic travel schedule. Sabre Holdings has offered to host the event for us in Southlake, TX.
The calendar is has been updated, please register to ensure we have enough food on hand.
DFW Scrum and Martin Fowler 1/19 Canceled
It is with great regret that I must inform you that due to a family emergency that occurred this week for Martin, he will not be able to attend any events (including DFW Scrum) planned next week in Dallas. I am working with him next week to re-schedule as soon as possible and will update this site as well as http://www.dfwscrum.com when we lock in his next available date.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as Martin takes the time he needs to be with his family.
About
Welcome to DFW Scrum! Our goal is to help you do better today than you were doing yesterday. The best way to do that is through the collective wisdom and experience of the crowd (sprinkled with some industry experts). Scrum is very simple to understand, but very hard to implement as it takes your problems and throws them in your face each and every day. We consider ourselves an organic group that is designed to tackle the challenges and issues you face regardless of your role in Scrum.
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month reserving the quarters for industry thought leaders / mentors who can provide direction and insight to questions we might have raised in past meetings. We have hosted Ken Schwaber, Stacia Broderick, Ron Jeffries, and Mike Cohn since our inception January 13, 2009.

- Scrum = Weight Watchers for Companies 01/28/2010The treadmill inspired this blog post.

It reminded me that jogging can only be one part of a [...]Lyssa Adkins

- Looking backward and forward – Scrum in 2009 and 2010 12/31/2009I read an article on DZone today http://agile.dzone.com/articles/agile-2009 in which several members of the agile community reflected on agile in 2009 and made predictions about 2010. There are many great observations but what struck me the most was Mary Poppendieck’s 2010 prediction – “I expect that in 2010, more people will realize that s […]Katie Playfair
