The Agile Ottawa group is getting going again after disappearing for the last year.

The event is at: The Code Factory, 2nd Floor – 246 Queen Street, Ottawa, ON. Dave Rooney has kindly picked up the fees for using the space.

Glenn Waters has outline an initial agenda:

For the first meeting, we’ll do some short introductions including understanding what brought you to this meeting. Then we will kick right into the meeting.

My proposal is to run the first meeting like a Scrum Sprint. This meeting will be Iteration -1, where we make sure that the strategy is right and we start to form the product backlog. We’ll take ideas on what form this group would like to take, rank the ideas by the highest business value, and use the information for following iterations.

Sadly I will miss the first event – as my Monday nights are booked for sometime to come. I have black belt pre tests every Monday night from now until early May (when I might test for my black belt).
