The 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 Agile2011 Conference (http://agile2011.agilealliance.org/) was in August.

The next ScrumGathering will be in London.

 

See Agile Info, here: http://leanagiletraining.com/resources.html

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 Agile-Carolinas. 

See: http://agile-carolinas.pbworks.com/w/page/1526357/FrontPage

Or contact Taylor Young if you want to 'join'. (free)

Agile RTP - http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/agile_rtp/

I understand there are other lean-agile-scrum groups in the RDU area.

Agile RTP also has a Meetup presence, a LinkedIn presence and perhaps other ways of communicating.

 

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 don't know 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!

 

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