Meeting Abstract: |
A lot of attention has been focused on the power of self-organizing agile teams. This power is the foundation upon which Scrum, the most widely adopted agile methodology, is built. Is it hype or is there something there? This month, participants will experience how a group can self-organize into a team, and how such a team can evolve ever-better ways of working together. |
