Well it was great to see a number of familiar faces at the South Scrum User Group meeting on the 22nd June 2009. Including some colleagues from iMeta Technologies. As always we had a very interesting discussion.
We covered a number of items before starting the main discussion. Firstly the name of the group. Plamen has been in discussion with the Scrum Alliance (SA) to have the groups details included in the SA website. SA had suggested that the title of South UK was too broad ranging and we should adopt a more local title. The discussion ensued on what name would be appropriate for a group that covers Southampton, Bournemouth, Poole, Salisbury and beyond. We decided that the group we be renamed Wessex Scrum User Group. After the meeting Plamen has arranged for the group to be visible on the SA website here.
Plamen has also arranged for Geoff Watts to come to the group in the near future. Watch the group’s linkedin group for more information.
The main topic of the meeting was “Continuous Integration – How Far Do You Go?”. Again we used a Mind Map approach to documenting the discussion and thoughts from the group. Below is the resulting Mind Map. Interestingly the topic is not necessarily a Scrum topic, but we were very careful to tie back Agile principles to the concept that were discussed.
