The MVP Summit and Agile Arguments

I spent the earlier part of this week in Seattle and Redmond for the 2009 MVP Summit (I am actually somewhere in the crowd for this video, please don’t hold it against me…) and came away with a ton of stuff that I can’t talk about, but more importantly I came away with an understanding that the economy may be tanking, but there is a TON of opportunity out there for people in our space.. I talked with several of my peers, and to a person, they are all extremely excited about the opportunities that they see. Hopefully the optimism will continue through the coming months, but I suspect it will.

About a month ago I sent some comments to Visual Studio Magazine in reference to an article they printed on the longevity of Agile. They saw fit to publish an edited version of my comments here: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/columns/article.aspx?editorialsid=3020
