CapJug July Meeting
"You have probably been hearing the terms “Sprints”, “Backlog”,
“Chickens & Pigs” for the last year or so and wondering what all
this has to do with software development. If you are interested in
finding out, this session will be of interest to you. We will cover the
basics of Scrum. Scrum is an agile development methodology to
iteratively and incrementally develop software systems and products
(especially when requirements are rapidly changing). We will explore
the Scrum process framework focusing on the 3 Roles, 3 Artifacts and 3
Ceremonies of Scrum. We will also touch upon Agile principles on which
Scrum and other iterative methodologies are based on."
"Pattabi Doraiswamy will be giving us an introduction to SCRUM! You can find
more details at the website at: http://capjug.org/capjug/meeting/show/24
We will also have some goodies to give away from our friends at Sun
Microsystems.
