Last Thursday I had a great opportunity to speak at AgileCville, and give a dry run of my upcoming presentation at Agile 2009.
Eric took this photo of me speaking. It looks like Im doing The Robot. Im not, but that would have been cool.
Id like to thank all those who attended. I really enjoyed the chance to share my thoughts on “How to sell a traditional client on an Agile project plan.” I got a lot of great feedback from everybody. Im flattered how much of it was positive, and I also got a lot of very helpful constructive feedback that I will definitely incorporate as I polish my slides for Agile 2009. Most notably perhaps, Im going to take a crack at improving the quality and consistency of the graphics in the slides.
The slides are available online here. I also brought my voice recorder with me, and Ive posted very roughly edited audio from the meeting here. The presentation was about 35 minutes long, and then we had a very interesting and valuable discussion session for about an hour after that. If you try to listen to the audio, be forewarned that not everyones voice comes through clear in the second half when were having our discussion.
Im really looking forward to seeing everyone at Agile 2009!
