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.
