Directions: A map is available at This Month's Meeting: Program Manager: Megan Graham Topic: "How's That Working for You? Stories about Inspecting and Adapting an Agile Process" Speaker: Kelly Weyrauch - Medtronic Abstract: "Inspect and Adapt" is an Agile principle that puts focus on the constant evolution of both the software product and the software development process. A common question for an Agile Coach to ask is, "How's that working for you?" They ask it of a customer to get feedback on the product and identify new functionality that might not have been known before. They ask it of the team to get feedback on the process to identify ways to work better. In this presentation, we'll ask that question at an even broader level, asking an Agile coach to give feedback on the evolution of Agile Software Development at Medtronic. On a seven-year journey, there are many good lessons on what worked and what didn't. There are examples of well-executed and insightful guidance, and some just plain dumb luck. And in alignment with the collaboration skill required of Agile development, there are stories to tell. Kelly will begin with some of the stories he wants to tell, but we hope the audience will shape the story by bringing specific variants of the "How's that working for you" question. Speaker Bio: Kelly Weyrauch is a Senior Principal Software Engineer in the Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management organization of Medtronic. With more than 20 years of software development experience and 10 years of focus on software process, he has transitioned from a predominantly left-brained world of rules and algorithms to the more right-brained world of guidelines and culture change. As a leader of the Agile movement at Medtronic, he works with project teams to evolve software processes and practices. Twin-SPIN Mission Statement: The Twin-SPIN software process improvement network (SPIN) is a regional organization established in January of 1996 as a forum for the free and open exchange of software process improvement experiences and ideas. Representatives from industry, government, academia, other professional organizations, and consultants are welcome to participate. Our mission is to help sustain commitment and enhance skills in the area of software process improvement through an active program of networking and mutual support. The organization strives to serve as a source of educational and experiential information for its members, other SPIN organizations, and the general community of software professionals. Meetings are normally held on the 1st Thursday of each month from 5:45-8:00 p.m. Twin-SPIN is a non-profit organization and is sponsored by the University of Minnesota Center for Software Engineering (UMSEC).
