AgileNorth mini-conference Thursday 29th of November

Hi everyone,

I've just been chatting with Kevin Rutherford who organises the
AgileNorth group and they still have a few spaces available for their
1-day agile conference. He has put together an excellent programme
with some top-notch speakers and presenters. It's only a day, it's
only 95 quid and it's only down the road in Manchester. I'd be there
apart from prior commitments.

You'll find more details here:

AgileScotlander Graeme Brown's dissertation on Distributed Agile.

Graeme Brown has just finished his dissertation towards becoming a Master of Science in Information Systems at Napier University, here in Scotland. I and several of my friends at AgileScotland helped him with his research. I found my interview with him very useful, in fact, because his questions focused on team cohesiveness (in distributed teams) - something which - I realised during the interview - I had sacrificed in one of the two distributed teams I was working on at the time.

You can read his dissertation here: GBrown05007439MScDissertation-1.pdf

Well done Graeme. And, thanks to everyone who kindly volunteered their time to assist him.
