Spain: # agileopenspain2009 Fabulous! Article in REICIS

Well finally arrived Agile Open Space, and went extremely fast how interesting it was.
After a busy week with the organization finally validate our expectations. Mass influx of enrollees, and much organized level talks on Saturday.
On Friday, after the last details of preparation for the event, people started coming to the 18:00, 18:30 and began the presentation ceremony. Agustín Yagüe was master of ceremonies, as it was held "at home" and Jose Manuel Beas and Xabi Albaladejo gave a small speech introducing Agile-Spain and agility. I think Jose Manuel Beas was really excited to see so many people gathered at this event, and no wonder.
So after the presentations and a small snack - thanks to the sponsors, which Biko was one of them - we proceeded to introduce the spaces that everyone wanted. Here's when it really breathe easy, and the event was going to work: a line of people to present and finally over 50 sessions ("only" There were 30 available time slots). After preparing the sessions for Saturday's panel, closed the day.
The people in the organization we had dinner on Friday, loved me back to chat with one day we got together for 7 months to move the topic of Agile-Spain, Carlos Ble meet and enjoy a nice dinner, although was working! :)

Saturday began with breakfast at the UPM, to gather strength as you could rethink the sessions looking to attend the panel. 6 sessions had been distributed simultaneously, for 5 time slots, 3 in the morning and 2 more back after eating.
sessions I attended were interesting and participatory. You breathed camaraderie and willingness to learn. We moved quickly through the panel to take the final decisions and care wards spaces. It shared many experiences, knowledge and also many interesting questions.
sessions I attended were:
  • Lean: It was a session given by Robyn Dymond, which unfortunately came too late. But X. Quesada led the session a success. We talked about the principles of Lean, and wonder how they apply to the company.
  • The Human Factor: Daniel Lopez (I think that was his name) told us about the people, who are who bear the thinkers of the developers, and are to be taken into account. Made a lot of fun dynamic as an example of the punishment against the award as a way to motivate people. Telefónica
  • Monica and Carmen Izquierdo Lasa we made a presentation on implementing Scrum in Telefónica I + D. Very interesting because it certainly is very much in parallel with the implementation we're doing also Biko, and we chatted for a while after lunch, and the problems and challenges are very similar.
  • Agile Coaching: It was to discuss the functions of an Agile Coach, and certainly what was clearer, it was not clear. There several versions of what is supposed to make an Agile coach, I think it lost a bit the course of the session that was mixed with the idea of \u200b\u200ba personal coach or brand.
  • Outsourcing and outsourcing: Angel Medinilla led a session to share his experiences on projects of this kind, drawing conclusions about .
In short, the conference experience. You can find more reviews, photos, etc.. in web-spain agile. Partnership will take shape soon, and we are preparing new events, so do not rest;). Get on the bandwagon of agility, and join Agile-Spain !

Would You Not Just Luv To Be On Fashion Tv?

Here you have the talk I gave the other day in the Navarparty, along with a brief description of what is told, without elaborating. You have the video available on the website of the Navarparty .

Agile Development
View more presentations from jrramon .


[2] usually have the typical problems of software development, in which we fall again and again, as reasons to switch to the light, with unhappy customers, equipment burned, poor quality, dates never reached. ..
[3] but here I prefer to give two reasons why I believe that agile methodologies are best suited.
[4] I think that first, the product is equivalent the team that created it, and that the product of a project manager is to create a team, and that
[5] software is a collaborative game. [6] These two books contribute to those ideas.
[7] So now we must choose a new path, take the blue pill Neo offered (jope, or was it red?).
[8] The most common agile methodologies were created in the 90,
[9] but the agile manifesto gave definitive.
[10-15] The agile manifesto in four sentences condense the knowledge and experience in project management software of some of the leading experts in this world.
[16-22] and the principles that flow from them are the bases of these methodologies.
[23] how we can bring these ideas to a practical level?
[24] Applying this methodology, for example (as an example, let's not forget that there are many agile methodologies), which acts on a technical level, on the ecosystem software (XP practice), level of project management (Scrum), and organizational level (using Lean principles).
[25-35] XP gives us tools to ensure quality and integrity of the development (TDD, Continuous Integration, Pair programming), but we must not forget that can be taken as a whole management methodology. Lean gives us some principles that seek to improve the organization at all levels. And Scrum methodology "cool", gives us the framework to manage projects by focusing on customer value delivery and continuous improvement.
[37] Two basic words to be nimble, trust and collaboration.
[38] Do not miss agile-spain!
