Agile Boston User Group August 25 Meeting is moving to September 8, 2010.
Here is some news for you on the next meeting of AgileBoston.
First of all, Aug 25 is out, and Sept 8 is in, as the next meeting. This adjustment is to accommodate our speaker, Jim McCarthy.
Jim is the author of SOFTWARE FOR YOUR HEAD. In this book he describes a set of working agreements that teams can implement to become great-- every time!
The working agreements are called the "Core Protocols". Simply stated, the Core is a set of ground rules for team communication. If your team implements them, you get to become GREAT.
Jim is our speaker on the evening of Sept 8.

Course Description Summary:
PROTOCOLS FOR MAXIMUM AGILITY:
ELEVEN LITTLE PROTOCOLS for Warp-Speed Results and Team Transformation
Shared Vision For TEAMS
Think of the great people and great teams you have known - great people and great teams have a vision of the world they want to live in. They work toward this vision, overcoming whatever obstacles are in their way - dissension among themselves, other people not sharing their vision, lack of time and resources.
Great teams enter this state and stay there.
Best Practices for TEAM COMMUNICATION
What if you could take the practices of these exceptional teams - the best of the best, teams that consistently delivered great products, spread the most happiness, and were the most effective at creating new opportunities - what if you could take what they know about Shared Vision and other things, and teach it to others? And what if these best practices were available for free, for anyone to use and improve on?
These practices are the Core Protocols. Learn more ..... | | | |

Firestarter Series: SharePoint 2010 TechNet Events
 Dan Stolts 11 Aug 2010 11:12 AM
TechNet Events registration is now open! Many who have attended the TechNet events in the past have told us that they would like us to go deeper on the topics. They have also told us that we should make it an all day event. You asked for it, you got it! There is a new format to the TechNet Events. The next set of TechNet events will be in a firestarter format. We start off with 100-200 level content and then dive deeper building on that knowledge as the day progresses. You can expect the morning sessions to be 100-200 level content with the afternoon being 300 or higher content. Not only has the format changed but we have changed it to have two series per half year instead of one series per quarter. I am now very happy to be able to inform you that the first set of events will be on SharePoint and Windows 7 Deployment.
Here are the details so far:
TechNet SharePoint 2010 Firestarter
Agenda
- SharePoint 2010 for IT Pros [200]
- Upgrading MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 [300]
