Post-talk thoughts – Agile Montreal – 28 May 2009

I presented at the Agile Montreal user group meeting tonight. I had a really great time, talked for a bit over 1.5h straight. Basically I took my developerWorks article on Real Life Agile Planning experiences and turned it into a French presentation. People had good questions and I hope I provided good answers to them. As usual, the first five to ten minutes were a bit stressful as it was the first time I was giving this talk.  I think overall the flow was good. The attendance was pretty good (20+ people).

If you took the time to come and see my presentation, thank you for coming. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to come see me present. Thank you as well for being so gracious to me, I hope I made it fun and interesting for you. I really enjoyed myself tonight and would have no reservations coming back for another presentation. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions or comments on the talk. If I get enough comments, I may create an additional blog entry for them.

Thoughts from Jan 29th Agile Montreal Meeting
