Microsoft ALM Summit is coming November 14 – 18

Microsoft ALM Summit

The ALM Summit is again coming up soon and again will be held on the Microsoft campus in Redmond. Keith Pleas and his company, Guided Design, do a great job of organizing and running this event. This year there will be two tracks: ALM Leadership and Agile Developer. The main conference is November 15 – 17 with Pre-Conference sessions on Monday November 14 and Post Conference sessions on Friday November 18.

I’ll be working with Richard Hundhausen on Accentient’s Pre Conference all-day workshop Implementing Scrum. The workshop is all about managing the implementation of Scrum. Whether you are new to Scrum and want to learn how to get started, are doing Scrum but need to sharpen your focus and deal with some ScrumButs, or just need to integrate Scrum with your ALM tools then this workshop is for you. We’ll be taking a pragmatic Scrum practitioner’s perspective. You’ll have plenty of time for questions and discussion with your hosts and peers.
