If you want access to PDF files of the decks we used, contact Julia at Julia.Hill@LeanAgileTraining.com.  (Note for public readers: You must also be a CSM/CSPO we trained.)

 

Read or finish reading the following:

Agile Project Management with Scrum by Ken Schwaber.

http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/scrum-xp-from-the-trenches

The Scrum Guide  http://wiki.kittyhawkconsulting.com/Scrum-Guide

 

You are certainly welcome to read here (this wiki), at my blog Agile & Business (see http://agileconsortium.blogspot.com/), and at a special Yahoo group called AgileBusiness (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/AgileBusiness).  Please also contribute, even if only with questions.

 

We also particularly recommend:

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

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

The Agile20xx Conference (http://agile2010.agilealliance.org/)

The next ScrumGathering in North America.  Expect it in March 2011.  And the Open Space Scrum Gathering in Sept should be good.

 

See Agile Info, here: http://leanagiletraining.com/AgileInfo/Agile%20Info.htm

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.  Or start a local group or an "industry" group.

You should be aware of:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/AgileUsersNJ/

Not clear to me how active it is.

And there are other related groups in the Northern NJ and NYC area.

 

If you want to look at other groups, see:

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 never knew as well as 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.

 

Good luck!  Go get 'em!
