LateNightHackingWiki: AgileExperienceGroup

The AgileExperienceGroup meets and collaborates to share experiences, suggestions, and ideas about moving software development efforts towards more agile, more lightweight practices. Extreme Programming (XP), SCRUM, Crystal, FDD, and ASD are agile approaches. See http://www.agilealliance.com/.

We meet in the Twin Cities, Minnesota area and are a special interest group (SIG) of the Object Technologies Users Group (OTUG). See http://www.otug.org/ and http://www.otug.org/groups/agileexperience.html.

We are the [Agile_Experience_Group] on Yahoo Groups.

The AEG also has a special interest group that is getting first-hand experience with XP through the AgileMethodologyProjectGroup.

If you have a topic you would like to discuss, or would like to join in a discussion on a selection of topics led by a colleague, this is the meeting to attend.
