Thanks to KanKan and Nafis for sharing their knowledge and answering questions during yesterday's Agile Community of Practice session. The notes from this session are posted here: https://staff.loc.gov/resources/display/AT/2017-06-21+Agile+Community+of+Practice Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, July 19th at noon in LM-637. About the Community The Agile Community of Practice includes Agile practitioners throughout the library that are interested in sharing information, improving skills and actively working to advance the general knowledge of Agile at the Library. If you know some that would like to participate in our discussions and expand or share their knowledge, you can have them join the Community's listserv at https://listserv.loc.gov/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=agileatlibrary&A=117 to get the latest info on what's being discussed and when we're meeting. We have a lot of great info about Agile on our Agile at the Library site<https://staff.loc.gov/resources/display/AT/Agile+at+the+Library>, and we're looking for community members to improve and build on what's been started. If you're interested in becoming an active (or core) member, reach out to Mike Nibeck or myself to find out more. Regards, Bob Shirley Team Lead, PMO Library of Congress (202) 707-0166 _____________________________________________ From: Shirley, Robert L.

Next Wednesday, June 21st is our Agile Community of Practice meeting for June. We're meeting in the Edison Conference room (LM-637), but, you may also choose to join us via WebEx at: https://locgov.webex.com/meet/rshir (Once you join the WebEx, you will be presented with the dial-in info.) We have a couple of great topics for this meeting: User Story Mapping - KanKan Yu If you don't know what User Story Mapping is, here's a quick read that does a better job of explaining it than I do: http://jpattonassociates.com/the-new-backlog/ . KanKan is going to share her team's approach and how it helped them. Testing Strategy - Nafisul Razzaque Testing is a topic with which we often struggle on Agile projects. Nafis will share his thoughts on testing with a look ahead to the future. Issues - Old and New This topic will be a permanent placeholder for us to give updates on issues related to Agile at the Library. This week we'll introduce the idea of tracking and working the issues raised by community members. Open Forum If anyone has any thoughts, questions or issues they want to raise to the community, here's your chance. Thanks!
