Agile Startups - moved to the 18th
We've had to move our AgileStartups talk to make room for Michael Feather's talk on the 11th: http://www.edinburgh.bcs.org/events/2010-11/110411.htm.
It'll now take place at the same time one week later.

[AgileScotland] Lean Startups ...
We're Back! Our next AgileScotland event takes place on the [18th April 2011 <- new date] in Edinburgh at 19:30. The subject: Lean Startups.
Lean Startups are the hot new kids on the block - and like all the new hot things it is a ball of hype wrapped round a steely core of good practice.
Gordon Guthrie (CEO/CTO at Hypernumbers, formerly Chief Technical Architect at if.com, currently Convenor of the Scottish Lean Circle) will provide some perspective.
Lean Startups are a combination of influences:
* Japanese quality management like the Toyota Production Systems
* software development methodologies like Agile, Scrum and XP
* theories of company building like 4 Steps To The Epiphany
* practical experience
These have been synthesized to address a very specific problem: "I have an idea for a product - how to I get to having a sustainable repeatable business based on that without running out of money"
The evening is organized by Paul Wilson and generously sponsored by his company EdgeCase - providers of rapid sustainable development here in Edinburgh.
If you are interested in joining us then please email me at clarke.ching@gmail.com. I'll book you a spot and send you location details.
Cheers,
Clarke Ching
