And, for the next week, you are welcome to a free copy of my book, Agile Release Planning - My Approach.

We also particularly recommend various discussion groups. 

Here are some old ones from Yahoo days:

ScrumDevelopment (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scrumdevelopment)

LeanDevelopment (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/leandevelopment)

There are also many on LinkedIn.

The Agile Alliance https://www.agilealliance.org/deliver-agile-2018/ for scheduled events.

The next Scrum Gathering https://www.scrumalliance.org/sgmps in the US is in Minneapolis April 2018.

 

See Agile Info, here: http://www.leanagiletraining.com/lean-agile-scrum-resources/

There is a whole LOT of info on and "beneath" this page.  It includes: books, articles, blogs, yahoo groups, "user groups", etc, etc.

 

Local Groups: You should join a "local" group.  I really recommend this.  It is an excellent way to learn.

 

You should be aware of Agile-Carolinas in Charlotte.

Suggestions: 

We place the highest value on taking action and getting real results.

Put what you think you know into action.  Now.

Find out what you don't know as well as what you thought you did. 

Find out what you need to know the most. Now.

Learn more (for a bit). Act more.

Learn-Act.  Get into a tight cycle.  Like a PDCA cycle.

 

We want you to pursue this with perseverance and aggressiveness and at the same time, patience.
