Choose your time slot and subject title wisely. Competing against Mike Milinkovich (Eclipse Foundation) and Alec Saunders, Michael Dunlevy (Founding Agreements) wasn’t a good choice. In addition, the title “Scrum in a Nutshell” only sells to people who already know what Scrum is (I was hoping for a wider audience). Perhaps next time I will choose a title like “Does your process hold your team back?”.
Finally, trying to squeeze the Scrum game into twenty minutes would have been a really bad idea – I’m glad that we stuck to discussion instead. Next time I will get the audience to drive more of the presentation content.
Thanks to Mark Stephenson, Peter Childs, Ryan Lowe, Ian Graham, Erik Hagborg, Melany Gallant, Sonny Juane, Geoff Waddington, Karly Bennett for organizing the BarCamp2.
