Orlando’s Scrum User Group

Our July food sponsors are Atlantic Dominion Solutions, courtesy of their CEO Robert Dempsey. Be sure to tell them and all of our sponsors thanks for their support.

Our members asked for it, and they are going to get it. At our next meeting we will be doing a Scrum simulation! Curious about what Scrum is, how it works, and how it can benefit you? Come to our next meeting and find out. And an added benefit is you don’t have to put on rugby gear.

Thanks to Ken Nordquist, who will be leading our simulation.

At this time our meeting is still scheduled to be at Panera on Atlamonte Drive. This may change due to space needs. Updates will be posted here and in emails.

Meeting Time: 7 PM

Hello All,

Our next meeting is scheduled for June 16. Our usual meeting day is third Tuesday of each month. Unfortunately someone has nabbed our meeting place at Altamonte Springs Panera for June. But that Monday is open.

Does June 16 work?

Please let me know if you can make it or not and we will adjust as we can. In July we are back to third Tuesday.
