The Agile Experience Group

The Agile Experience Group meets and collaborates to share experiences, suggestions, and ideas about moving software development efforts towards more agile, more lightweight practices. Extreme Programming (XP), SCRUM, Crystal, FDD, and ASD are agile approaches. See www.agilealliance.org

We meet in the Twin Cities, Minnesota area and are a special interest group (SIG) of the Object Technologies Users Group (OTUG). See www.otug.org.
