This year, several new people have joined AgilePhilly and are newbies in the Agile World, and even though Scrum Certified, there are still unfamiliar buzzwords - - terms like Kanban, Code Smells, Chickens and Pigs, Cone of Uncertainty, Information Radiators ! So we will concentrate on these core values and Intro topics. But there are sessions at every level.

RSVP closed on Friday Sept 19th A survey of sessions you will be be attending will be sent out soon.
