Rather than pick on individual speakers or sessions, I would like to simply discuss
today qualitatively. I enjoyed it and was glad to be here .
I went to several sessions on appropriate metrics in Agile and Scrum environments.
I am excited to stop bugging people for information that doesn’t really matter when
I get home.
I spent an entire day at a technology conference during which I saw not one line of
code. This Agile thing is truly a new thing for us nerds. All of a sudden
we are talking to each other. It is weird. It is good. I am happy
to be a part of it.
Tonight I met Scott Ambler on a riverboat as we cruised the Mississippi. He
is cool and was not nearly as tipsy as I was.
I also met the CEO of Version 1 and he bought me a few scotches. OK, four.
I expressed an opinion on his product road map. Scotch makes me collaborative
and irritatingly friendly. I think he liked me .
I also saw Martin Fowler from a distance but his goons and halo effect glow kept us
commoners away.
Viki won a rugby ball and tomorrow we will try to get all of the authors to sign it.
Awesome.
I am going to bed.
