The August meetup agenda will start off with lunch sponsored by Genuent. Once everyone has had a chance to get settled, we will kick off the meetup with brief individual introductions (10 secs each).

The event will then move to a discussion about the use of Fibonacci Numbers and Relative Estimation for Agile teams led by Derwin Roland. Relative Estimation and Story Points are powerful estimating tools for Agile teams. Following the talk on Relative Estimation, guests will participate in a hands-on application of what was shared. This discussion will be interactive so come ready with your thoughts, questions and feedback regarding your experience using the concept to share with others.

The second half of the event we will use the Lean Coffee (http://leancoffee.org/) format. Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants will gather, build an agenda (backlog of topics), and begin the discussion. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting is democratically generated.

We will close the meetup with a “Rapid Retrospective” (5 minutes) covering what was beneficial to the group and what could be enhanced in future ATAG meetups.

The total event time is scheduled for ~1.5 hrs.

Please arrive a few minutes early because attendees will need to sign in at the front desk. Parking is available in front of the building and behind the building. Please park on the M3 side since the other side of the lot is owned by SAGE.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Walt and Derwin
