in October, Esther Derby and I presented two workshops at the Pacfic Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC). One was an Agile Overview, for interested beginners. We don’t have another one scheduled at this time, but I will let you know if we schedule one locally in the future.

Another way you could learn more is by attending the monthly XPDX users group meetings at OGI. (usually the 2nd Tuesday evening) http://www.xpdx.org The group began as an XP users group, but has expanded to include discussion of Agile methods in general.

Thanks for expressing your interest. I think lots of people are hearing more about, and becoming intrigued by the possibilities of, Agile/Scrum for their development organizations.

Designing retros isn’t part of the planned curriculum. However, we are flexible and, to a degree, the workshop content is driven by the just-in-time needs of the participants. If enough people in the room wanted to spend some time on retros, we’d find a way to include it.

Will the course provide help in designing team retrospectives? I missed your tutorial at Agile 2005.
