Agile Tour 2010 in Brazil!

In 2010 we will have for the first time in Brazil the largest simultaneous event in the world of Agile, the Agile Tour. The event is in its third edition. In 2008 we had the first Agile Tour. In 2009 the event attracted over 2,500 participants in 18 cities around the world, in Canada, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, USA and China. In this edition, we will be Brazil, Venezuela (in negotiation), India, Lithuania and Belgium added to the list of participating countries!

This unique event combines local networking with a fun way to learn about Agile. It was greatly appreciated and therefore we will have a great event  in 2010! Furthermore, we are offering the event to other cities – this is your chance to bring the event to your city and become part of this new form of communication called “Mass Communication”, which demonstrates how Agile is able to mobilize and change the way we work (for the better, of course)!

To participate as a speaker or as an attendant, visit the website and mark your agenda. In October we will be in Brazil, when will we be in other Latin America countries?  The user group Scrum Amazonia will be present with Scrum speakers and attendants in Manaus and other big cities of Agile in Brazil: Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Fortaleza.

4th meeting in Lima recap

The last meeting of the user group took place in Lima, Peru. It was a joint event with Agile Peru, which happened during Lima Agile Day 2010. The meeting was really great. The interchange of information between Brazil and Peru was a valuable experience for all those who attended.

Marco Mafra, from INdT (Nokia Institute of Technology) was there talking about intermingling Scrum and ISO – the Nokia experience. Heitor Roriz talked about Distributed Scrum and did the opening together with Gustavo Quiroz, from Agile Peru.

The guys from Agile Peru were responsible for the local organization and did a great job. The presentations held by local community were great: TDD by Abner Bellardo and Visual Management by Pedro Hernandez were awesome. You can download all presentations from here. Thanks to all the guys specially Abner for a beautiful presentation, los Gustavos for organization, Jersson, Pedro, Armando, Edwin and all the agileros from Lima.
