CIO Playbook for Scrum
I ran across this article on the Rally Software site and thought it was worth sharing. It presents a playbook on implementing Scrum within an enterprise. If you're starting your Scrum journey, you should read this.

Stir Trek
Did you miss the Mix 09 Conference? Do you like Star Trek? Here's a chance to get a taste of both. The Stir Trek (http://www.stirtrek.com) conference is being held on Columbus, OH on May 8th. Here's a quick description:
Stir Trek is an opportunity to learn about the key announcements from the Mix 09 conference, at a location that is a little closer to home, and in the comfort of a movie theater. There will be 10 sessions, in two tracks, so you’ll be able to pick the content that interests you the most. In addition, the day will include lunch, a raffle with some significant prizes, and a private screening of the new Star Trek movie, which opens in theaters the day of this event.

Microsoft ArcReady
Registration for the next ArcReady event is available. See the description and links below to sign up.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Architecting for the Client Tier
The client (or presentation) tier of our applications is taking on an increasingly important role. Users are expecting more compelling user interfaces, but they also want more functionality from their applications. In this ArcReady we examine how to design and deliver well architected client applications that will be easy to maintain and extend.
Session 1: Trends and Patterns on the Client Tier
In our first session we will take a vendor and platform neutral look at some of the trends and emerging technologies that can be used on the client tier. We will look at techniques like Mashups, technologies like Natural User Interfaces (NUI) and the increasing importance of the mobile platform. We will also look at some common patterns that can be used in the architecture of the client tier.
Session 2: Applying Microsoft Technology on the Client Tier
In our second session we will take some look at how we can use Microsoft technologies to create well architected and compelling client applications. We will look at technologies like Silverlight and WPF that can be used to create compelling clients. We will also look at technologies that can be used to make your applications more extensible for future development. We will also examine some architectural guidance developed by the Microsoft Patterns and Practices group.
WHAT IS ARCREADY?
· A forum for aspiring and practicing architects to discuss industry trends
· An overview of Microsoft’s roadmap as it relates to software architecture
· A mechanism to solicit your feedback
· An opportunity to showcase the work you do!
