It's a great way 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 the format we'll follow: Step 1: Everybody writes down proposed topics on s tickies\, 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 rea dy). Step 2: Each topic is briefly described by its writer to get a flav or for the subject (15-30 seconds typically per sticky). Step 3: Each pe rson gets five votes which they indicate by marking the voted-for sticky 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 it \, 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. E ach mark counts as one vote. Step 4: The top vote-getting stickies are p laced in the ToDo column\, ordered by the stickies with the most votes a t the top. In an Agile fashion\, we'll use groupings of ToDo\, Doing\, D one and Lessons learned. Step 5: Each of these stickies are discussed fo r 5 minutes\, most votes first. The facilitator takes a quick "\;Ces ar"\; (thumbs up/down) vote at the five-minute timer\, and she moves on for three more minutes if the discussion still has majority interest . When complete\, move the sticky over to the Done column. Rinse and rep eat. Step 6: wrap-up thoughts at the end - what one idea or person did y ou most enjoy\, then break for home/drinks/cover.\n\nTags: meetup:event= tjcbbryzkbcc\, meetup:group=AgilePDX-User-Group-Portland-Metro\, softwar e development\, extreme programming\, scrum\, agile project management\, test driven development\, agile testing\, kanban\, lean startup\, compu ter programming\, Agile Coaching\, agilepdx\n\nImported from: http://cal agator.org/events/1250475814 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
