Si is an engaging and knowledgeable presenter, and the content was very applicable. This was my first time attending the meet-up and I look forward to attending more in the future! -
Topic was great. Presenters were great. Pizza was great! (Thanks!) Beer was great! (Thanks!) -
Si & team always have great stuff to talk about. Really enjoyed the presentation. -
It was very interesting. -
Awesome -
Good dialogue. Went outside the bounds of tech and focused on agile. Good preso by Redpoint. -
Not sure how you can start a transformation with culture, without delivering real results via actual working software via [insert aglie method]. If an organization is already prepared for cultural shifts, then this is a no-brainer salesmans dream. But if not, I think you have to start lower, deliver real value through the use of agile, and see the culture slowly shift over time.— Erik

Si is an excellent speaker. I would pay good money to listen to him.— Mai Tran

It was great, thought provoking and energizing. I'd love to see them come back for a continuation.
-
This was the best one yet in my opinion and the most attended. The volume of the crowd during the mingle time was very loud and a good sign of how engaged everyone was in anticipation of the topic. Great sharing of valuable information. -
Nice folks, well-engaged audience, a lot to think about i.e. references to work on "what culture is"
-
Si and Mark did a great job of presenting and managing a significant amount of questions. -

I don't work in an Agile environment so in terms of practical application I would have to work a little harder to translate what was presented to direct actions. Nonetheless there were some interesting takeaways and I gained a little perspective with respect to how Agile environments measure SW and progress. Erik also did a nice job presenting despite the technical difficulties, the laptops on the tables worked out just fine. -
Informative and relevant. Presenter was enthusiastic knowledgeable and well prepared.

Great presentation, good thoughts on the necessity and value of metrics as well as some possible specific ones to use. May have liked to see some more detail on the individual metrics and how to gather/compile them, but that's the only criticism I have.
-
Interesting content - agree with measure up concept and trying to find other ways to calm fears than historical metrics.

Great topics and great discussions. Also, it was great to meet some of great people for first time (internal joke for those of you shall remain anonymous). -
Really practical, useful discussion.
-
I thought this was one of the more engaging sessions we've had in a while. Excellent job by Jason Montague in facilitating the discussion.

For the first Lean Beer in Wisconsin, this was awesome! Very impressed with the groups excitement and all the great ideas / sharing happening tonight! -

It is so great to hear someone talking about agile team dynamics from a more social perspective. Great topic and presentation. I look forward to hearing more from Derek via twitter and his blog.

Excellent presentation! I hope I get to hear Derek Wade speak again. -

Presenters gave a good description of their journey into Agile/scrum. Being candid about the positives and negative was appreciated.
