Hi Clarke,

I hope all is well.  As agreed I am forwarding on my questionnaire to
yourself for participation and hopefully you will be able to forward
it on to other possible participants.  I have kept the questionnaire
very short, it should approximately take 3-5 minutes of your time.

Here is the link:

I am working with Eddie Gray for my research into agile and we would
both like to thank you very much, you participation is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks, Alan

Poppendieck Lean/Agile course - Glasgow, May 2010

Great news! Adrian Mowat, a long-term AgileScotlander, has been in contact with Mary and Tom Poppendieck, co-authors of the Lean Software Development books. Between them they've arranged a two day course "Leading Lean Software Development", to be held in Glasgow, this May.

This is a great opportunity. Mary and Tom are two of the best AgileThinkers and trainers in the world. They presented one of their first courses here in Scotland way back in 2004 or 2005. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

You can find more details here..
