Scrumban!?!?!?!? with Joel Semeniuk

Date: Thursday, July 15, 2010
Time: 5PM Pacific (UTC-0800)

This meeting was cancelled due to Internet connectivity issues.  We will try to reschedule Joel again at a future time.

Kanban: A Japanese term  (看板) meaning "signboard" or "billboard", is a concept related to lean and "just-in-time" production.  Scrum: is a way of restarting a Rugby game after an accidental infringement or when the ball has gone out of play.

What do Scrum and Kanban have to do with eachother?  And what do they have to do with software development.  Many of you probably already know about "Scrum" as a project management framework for agile software development.  But what about Kanban?  Join us for this Visual Studio ALM User Group meeting as Joel Semeniuk presents "Scrumban" and explains both terms and how they can help your team with software development.
