STC 2008: Day Three, June 3

Today for me was mostly split between two types of events, talks about Agile development techniques, in particular Scrum, and two “progressions.” To take the latter first, progressions were a new concept to me. A progression is held in a room with several large tables, each of which has a moderator with a particular topic. Over the course of a one to two hour progression, participants cycle through 1-4 tables, and have a short conversation with the moderator and other participants. It’s a bit like the conference version of “speed dating,” without the fear of rejection.
