DESCRIPTION:Rose City Software Process Improvement (SPIN) Seminar [free e
 vent\, open to public]\n\nTitle: Moving to Agile Development: What Went 
 Right\, What Went Wrong\n\nPresenter: Ray Arell\n\nDates/Times: Thursday

 \nLocation: Hillsboro Main Library\, Main Library Meeting Room\, 2850 NE
  Brookwood Parkway\, Hillsboro\, OR 97124 \n\nAbstract:\nA while ago I w
 ent into my software staff and declared “Hey! We are going Agile!” Y
 ep\, I read an Agile project management book on a long flight to India\,
  and like all good reactionary development managers I was sold!   A few 
 years later our adaptation of the Scrum framework has taken shape\, but 
 it was not without strain on our development\, test\, and other Q/A proc
 esses. This session focuses on a retrospective of what went right and mo
 re importantly what went wrong as we evolved to our new development proc
 ess and the effect it had on our team. Perhaps it will convince you that
  the shift to Agile is the way to go\, and hopefully give you just a lit
 tle more info on what you may be in for.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nRay Arell is a
