Swiss Lean Agile Scrum Event: Call for Participation

Mark your calendars: Zurich, June 4. 2009. Under the motto of ‘Beyond the Hype, Agile in Practice’, the SwissICT Lean Agile Scrum Group is organizing its first agile project management conference in Zürich.

In the morning we plan to hold introductory workshops  ‘Scrum 101’, ‘Lean 101’ and ‘XP 101’. In the afternoon, the conference will have two tracks dedicated to reports from people – managers, project leaders, developers, coaches, etc. – with actual experience will Lean or Agile Software projects. Experience, good or bad, positive or negative, management or technical, success or … whatever,  with all flavors of Lean and Agile software methodologies are welcome: XP, Scrum, Scrum-ban, Crystal… if it’s lean or agile, it’s welcome, but we’re looking for honest reports on real projects.

The event is basically a full day event. Our target is 100 participants, but how many will come? Well, that depends on how good you talks are 😉
