ENJOYWATCHINGACONDENSEDCONFERENCETIMELINE: 2 daysin 2 minutes
For those who attended our master-classes, AGILEEE started even on 20-22th of September. Spending several days with their famous trainers and even relaxing after such good work in the evening or during the Ice-breaker made them closer to each other. Everyone had enough time to discuss their exact project сhallenges, receive an advice and have a few beers.
Talking about the conference, in the morning live music entertained our guests, relaxed them after a long travel and disposed them to mental work.
The conference began with Alistair Cockburn’s keynote which impressed everybody and became a great start. Thank you, Alistair, for this bomb at AGILEEE!
Then inspired and enthusiastic, conference attendees registered for quest participation. We had several tricky tasks for the attendees to accomplish in groups – in the end two winning teams got their free tickets to AGILEEE 2012 and a bunch seats of upcoming trainings by SCRUMguides‘. Thanks guys for your activeness and fair play!
In the evening of the first day Elisabeth Hendrickson gave a wonderfultalk. As she promised she didn’t use the word “test” during the half of her speech though it totally was related to testing in Agile context!
In the end of the day people exchanged their impressions and made new acquaintances at the gorgeous banquet. One of the best Kyiv’s restaurants in local traditional style friendly invited us to spend this evening in the center of the city. Our guests together with Alistaircouldn’t miss a chance to listen to Ukraininan live music and dance. That’s why all the guests were happy with national hospitality during their stay in Kiev.
At the beginning of the second conference day Jurgen Appelo caused a furore by histalk! We got a whole lot of positive feedback from the listeners. Thank you Jurgen, it was great!
Jurgen Appelo changing the world.
Towards the end of AGILEEE J.B. Rainsberger draw a line with his fundamentaltalk about progress, pain and paradox that took place during the last 10 years of Agile. Now we all know – the future of Agile is XP.

Everybody at AGILEEE managed plenty of things to do. They stamped their passports at AGILEEE sponsors’ tables to take part in a solo quest – a sponsors lottery. Lucky ones got an X-box from Luxoft and an Amazon Kindle from SCRUMguides. Congratulations!
AGILEEE sends special thanks to the sponsors – you not only supported us from the beginning till the very end of the conference, but also made a lot to entertain our guests. All participants were happy to join your contests, discussions and of course liked the prizes.
Hope all AGILEEEattendees had pleasure of tasting home-made cookies at SCRUMGuides’ stand – they were really great.
Special thanks to all the volunteers who did a great job. Everything went smoothly largely due to their well coordinated work.
We are glad if AGILEEE helped you with networking thing.
