Give Thanks For Scrum 2015

Join us on Tuesday November 24, 2015 at the Microsoft New England Research Center for Agile Boston's 7th Annual Give Thanks For Scrum event.  

This year we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Scrum! 

You may not know that Scrum was born in Boston and thus its very appropriate that this event is rapidly becoming a true Boston tradition!  Register now and get Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber for a WHOLE DAY, where they will give individual presentations and then join forces to answer your toughest Scrum questions in a special afternoon Q&A session.

Agile Boston wants you to be part of the celebration too!  A select few will be chosen to present up to a 7 minute Scrum Gratitude Talk at this year's event.  Submit your Gratitude Talk ideas HERE before November 9th!  We will inform those selected by November10th!

Agile Boston is also very happy to announce that Dave West, product owner of Scrum.org, will also be sharing the stage with Ken Schwaber at this year's event!  Together they will address the question: What does DevOps have to do with Scaling?
