VSTS User Group Talks about SCRUM Tonight in Downers Grove, IL
Please join us in DG this month for a great SCRUM with TFS discussion and demo. Feel free to invite anyone else who may be interested as well. **This month we're in Downers Grove and NOT in downtown Chicago. We flip periodically to show the suburbs some love.
For our May meeting, Chad Thomas of Neudesic will be presenting Team Foundation Server 2008 and then discuss Agile in general and Scrum in particular. There will be a focus on the tools available for TFS 2008 (largely applicable to TFS 2005 too) such as eScrum, Conchango Scrum, TFS Sticky Buddy, Scrum Manager and TFS Power Tools. The talk will focus more on 'showing' than 'telling', as well as a *slightly* unbalanced case for Agile/Scrum. Pizza will be at 5:30 PM and the presentation will start around 6. We hope to see you there!
When: Wednesday May 28th at 6PM
Where: Microsoft's DG office:
3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 300
