We're talking about the drive-by executive check-ins on sprint progress, the performance review paperwork that (oops!) has to be done by tomorrow, the security training that someone forgot to announce--until it's due according to a regulatory standard.</p> <p>And, what about you? Do you ever find <em>yourself</em> being a distraction to the team?</p> <p>In Agile circles, management is famous for mucking up the works. How do you as a conscientious agilist deal with this? What has to change?</p> <p>Come on down to Ringler's and bring a manager or two to let them sound off. We'll be your pub lunch therapists sharing what we've learned and what we're still trying to figure out. Bring us your toughest conundrums and your pummeled agilist hearts. Together we'll cogitate and commiserate until you feel ready to face the workplace again.</p> <p>You know where to find us: We'll be in the back. RSVP's not required but very much appreciated at <a href="mailto:agilepdxcoordinating@googlegroups.com">agilepdxcoordinating@googlegroups.com</a>. It helps us alert the pub to staff appropriately. We start on time and end on time. We encourage you to do so, as well.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.agilepdx.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
