[AgileScotland] Training - FIT for developers - Brian Swan, 21st and 22nd May 2009

Hi Everyone,

 

Brian Swann is an excellent Agile trainer and coach who lives and works right here in Scotland.  He has been a member of AgileScotland since the early days and over the years I have often sought his advice on the more technical aspects of Agile.  He knows his stuff.

 

Next month he is presenting on of his courses (on using FIT) here in Edinburgh.
