    Good introductory material and excellent discussion. I think we should have agile introductory materials on the website and available to hand out at the meeting to people new to agile. Some background before the meeting would help them understand the discussion and make the presentation better for the more experienced people. Also it may be good to have a meeting focused on introducing people to agile, possibly in small table groups.

    Lots of good discussion. I'd like to continue to push for audience interaction and participation when possible. Overall a very good presentation and overview.

    Chad is very knowledgeable about scrum and I enjoyed the meeting. I learned some things and would recommend him as a speaker. It was interesting to hear the latest about where scrum is today and where it is going. Lots of good interaction with the group as well.

    While I think that more discussion would be better, I really got a lot out of other's stories regarding this topic.

    I thought the folks from Wells Fargo did an excellent job. Their presentation and workshop were well thought out and executed in a manner that encouraged learning. A great job all around.

    I've sat through a lot of high level overviews of Agile, but this meeting actaully covered a very implementable approach to help me transition from a waterfall type requirements document, to a more agile and testable method. I'm looking forward to trying out the given, when, then acceptance criteria.

    I LOVED that so many teammates showed up to support the group and learn from one another. I also felt like there were some great questions during and after the event!

    It was good session sharing Mobile TEC Agile success story. I felt that it was great opportunity to collaborate with Agile Practitioners looking forward to attend this meet up regularly.

    Good presentation and I liked WennSoft's pragmatic approach to implementing Agile. Good discussion and interesting topics that came up in the meeting and in conversations afterward.

    I like to hear the ups and downs of other teams as they embark on adopting new techniques. The Wennsoft team was very open to discussing their journey and did a fantastic job overall!

    It was great that so many of the WennSoft team were able to be there to tell their story and each share their experiences. It was like a big retrospective regarding their adoption of agile. Thanks for sharing!

    Si was a very engaging speaker. Although I have almost zero knowledge of Agile methods, the presentation was very informative.

    The presentation tonight was great. He really knew his stuff and engaged the audience.

    Very good overview and nice approach breaking down the data in the VersionOne survey for 2009. I appreciate it when presenters ask lots of questions and drive content based on the crowds experiences. I think the presenter did a very good job engaging the group.

    One of the best presentations I've seen summarizing the tools and techniques behind effective agile software development, and why they are important. Well done Jason!

    I think it makes lots of sense once you implement this in your daily approch.

    Was a good presentation, though some jargon went unexplained.

    Great job at sharing the agile engineering practices. It was music to my ears to hear someone else playing the same tune I tend to play.

    This was my first meeting. I think great content was discussed as I am an agile newbie (although, I've learned that I pretty much already do some parts of agile/lean/scrum instinctively)
