SUMMARY:Let's Meetup and discuss Solving Software Problems Part II on a Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Since part 1 of Solving Software Problems was such a hit\, we are honored to have an awesome Agile mentor\, author\, coach\, and teacher\, Don Gray\, come back again from North Carolina to facilitate Part 2. \nFor those that weren’t able to attend or you want to learn more\, you can learn about his experience and everything he does\, like coach sessions with Esther Derby by checking out his website; http://www.donaldegray.com/ Be sure to check out his endorsements also to really see the depth he brings. \nSolving Software Problems\nCreative problem solving is the essence of software development. We never solve the same problem twice. We reuse previous solutions (or parts of them) when possible. But every application has novelty\, a newness and difference that requires fresh thinking. Otherwise we’d use the existing application. \nHowever all problems are not created equal. In this session we’ll experience solving different types of problems. We’ll explore similarities and differences. What happens when we use an improper solving heuristic? \nJoin us and have fun exploring the world of problem solving! \nFood will be provided by RecuitWise! 🙂\nWe will begin at 6:30\, session will begin at 7 as usual\, and wrap up around 8. \nCome prepared to learn and participate! \nLet me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

A model for evaluating agile performance: The Agile Performance Holarchy.” \nJeff is Broadsword’s President\, Certified Lead Appraiser and author of “agileCMMI\,” Broadsword’s leading methodology for incremental and iterative performance improvement.

SUMMARY:Let's Meetup Open Source style part 2
DESCRIPTION:Our last Meetup was done using Open Source and it went so well that a part 2 is in order. It is also a great way to help more people participate in the group. Plus\, I just got back from an Open Source Conference in Nashville where I learned some additional facilitation techniques.\nOpen Source means that there is no set topic. The way it works is that those with ideas/questions they want to discuss share them briefly with everyone. Then we will do a quick vote and the few (or so\, it will depend on how many show up) will be selected and then we will break out into groups with 30 min ish to discuss\, and come back for a 10-15 min wrap up share main take away points with others. \nPlease notice location and day difference – the majority of people who responded to the last survey want to meet in the Cedar Bluff area. That also means that dinner will not be provided but the menu is varied and there should be something to everyone interested in eating. \nOh and I’m thinking of a December 12th ish meetup for December and want to look at setting a set time for 2017 so be thinking when would be a good time for you… \nPlease let me know if you have any questions \nLooking forward to seeing everyone soon
