Mike 2008/12/4 Jan Behrens <jan_behrens@xxxxxxx> Just a quick note to say that I am delighted to announce that we have a very special guest for the session today! Gabrielle Benefield, trainer of the Certified Scrum Masters course, will be sharing some of her experience with us as part of the session. Gabrielle introduced Agile techniques and Scrum to Yahoo, she has a wealth of knowledge in this area, gained from running 170 Scrum teams at Yahoo. She has since moved on to greener pastures, so we are very fortunate indeed to have someone of such high standing sharing her thoughts and experiences on Agile with us. Hope to see you there!
