It's a great wa y to have real\, focused dialogue and we often discuss matters of agile\ , lean and such - but anything goes. As far as the mechanics\, here's th e format we'll follow: Step 1: Everybody writes down proposed topics on stickies\, placing them in the center of the table. Take as much time as needed\, but typically takes only 3-5 minutes (or whenever coffee is re ady). Step 2: Each topic is briefly described by its writer to get a fla vor for the subject (15-30 seconds typically per sticky). Step 3: Each p erson gets five votes which they indicate by marking the voted-for stick y with their Sharpie. Mark with a plus + if you agree with the topic and want to discuss it\, or a minus - if you disagree and want to discuss i t\, mark it with a dot if you want to hear the discussion and maybe join in. You can put all votes on one\, one across many\, however you feel. Each mark counts as one vote. Step 4: The top vote-getting stickies are placed in the ToDo column\, ordered by the stickies with the most votes at the top. In an Agile fashion\, we'll use groupings of ToDo\, Doing\, Done and Lessons learned. Step 5: Each of these stickies are discussed f or 5 minutes\, most votes first. The facilitator takes a quick "\;Ce sar"\; (thumbs up/down) vote at the five-minute timer\, and she move s on for three more minutes if the discussion still has majority interes t. When complete\, move the sticky over to the Done column. Rinse and re peat. Step 6: wrap-up thoughts at the end - what one idea or person did you most enjoy\, then break for home/drinks/cover.\n\nTags: meetup:event =bxvdmqyzjbvb\, meetup:group=AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro\, softwa re development\, extreme programming\, scrum\, agile project management\ , test driven development\, agile testing\, kanban\, lean startup\, comp uter programming\, Agile Coaching\, agilepdx\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250475687 SUMMARY:AgilePDX User Group - Portland Metro - Lean Coffee in the North LOCATION:Percipio Consulting Group: 722 N Page St\, Suite 2\, Portland or 97227 us SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
