DESCRIPTION:Join us for coffee/tea or beverage of your choice and fun dis
 cussions about how to overcome challenges we face or to share about Agil
 e-inspired and other topics we agree or disagree with. This event is aim
 ed at getting people in the North and NE areas of Portland together to f
 acilitate discussions. It's not exclusive to people that live in the Nor
 th and NE\, just closer to those parts of the city to make it easier to 
 come out. (If you want something other than tea or coffee\, you'll have 
 to bring it with you. We'll have hot water and cups available.)&#13\;\n&
 #13\;\n**Percipio Consulting Group is opening up their offices to host t
 his event.**&#13\;\nPercipio is a business consulting firm that helps co
 mpanies identify opportunities for improvement and successfully implemen
 t meaningful changes. That means more efficient processes\, shored-up co
 ntrols\, a technology solution that really works for you\, or all of the
  above. They have helped many companies\, both Fortune 500 and mid-sized
 \, navigate complex projects by truly understanding business needs and d
 efining up front what success will look like.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Parking:*
 * Use the Gotham Building Parking lot on the corner of N Page St and N B
 orthwick Ave.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Building Entry:** Entry to the building i
 s best through the door by Little Gotham Coffee. We'll have someone meet
 ing on time attendees at the door. For those that run a few minutes late
  due to traffic or other reasons out of your control\, there will be dir
 ections at the door on how to contact someone to let you in.&#13\;\n&#13
 \;\nWe'll spend the first few minutes gathering discussion ideas\, then 
 roll right into the smooth easy cadence of the lively chatter.&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\n##**New to Lean Coffee?**&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIt'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 w
 e'll follow:&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 1:** Everybody writes down proposed t
 opics on stickies\, placing them in the center of the table. Take as muc
 h time as needed\, but typically takes only 3-5 minutes (or whenever cof
 fee is ready).&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 2:** Each topic is briefly describe
 d by its writer to get a flavor for the subject (15-30 seconds typically
  per sticky).&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 3:** Each person gets five votes whi
 ch they indicate by marking the voted-for sticky with their Sharpie. Mar
 k 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 vote
 s on one\, one across many\, however you feel. Each mark counts as one v
 ote.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**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 a
 nd Lessons learned.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 5:** Each of these stickies ar
 e discussed for 5 minutes\, most votes first. The facilitator takes a qu
 ick &quot\;Cesar&quot\; (thumbs up/down) vote at the five-minute timer\,
  and she moves on for three more minutes if the discussion still has maj
 ority interest. When complete\, move the sticky over to the Done column.
  Rinse and repeat.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 6:** wrap-up thoughts at the en
 d - what one idea or person did you most enjoy\, then break for home/dri
 nks/cover.\n\nTags: agile\, agilepdx\, lean coffee\n\nImported from: htt

 iness needs and defining up front what success will look like.&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\n##**New to Lean Coffee?**&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIt'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 w
 e'll follow:&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 1:** Everybody writes down proposed t
 opics on stickies\, placing them in the center of the table. Take as muc
 h time as needed\, but typically takes only 3-5 minutes (or whenever cof
 fee is ready).&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 2:** Each topic is briefly describe
 d by its writer to get a flavor for the subject (15-30 seconds typically
  per sticky).&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 3:** Each person gets five votes whi
 ch they indicate by marking the voted-for sticky with their Sharpie. Mar
 k 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 vote
 s on one\, one across many\, however you feel. Each mark counts as one v
 ote.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**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 a
 nd Lessons learned.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 5:** Each of these stickies ar
 e discussed for 5 minutes\, most votes first. The facilitator takes a qu
 ick &quot\;Cesar&quot\; (thumbs up/down) vote at the five-minute timer\,
  and she moves on for three more minutes if the discussion still has maj
 ority interest. When complete\, move the sticky over to the Done column.
  Rinse and repeat.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n**Step 6:** wrap-up thoughts at the en
 d - what one idea or person did you most enjoy\, then break for home/dri
 nks/cover.\n\nTags: agile\, agilepdx\, lean coffee\n\nImported from: htt
