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

 

And, for the next month, you are welcome to a free copy of my book, Joe's Agile Release Planning.

I will send you an email with the URL. 

Tell me or Cassandra is you need the link again.

 

We also particularly recommend:

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

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

The Agile2015 Conference http://agile2015.agilealliance.org/ in August.

The next ScrumGathering is in Berlin.

 

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.
