GA Tech - ID Mgmt going to Scrum some projects, half day scrums, going well- mobile group, have converted 2 offices to Scrum room

Wake - Working on writing user stories. Reading Mike Kohn book on the topic.
GA Tech - talked about value of standups. Garnter concept of devops - ITIL "lite" - helping customers identify what they need. The only way to know if a requirement is good is can it be tested. On Banner XE early adopter. Grails code from Ellucian has automated cases built in.
ND - recently started to use automated testing tools like DB Fit and Selenium. Also trying out Pivotal Tracker for sprint backlog management.

ND - Used some agile approaches in recent Banner Upgrade. DBAs, Developers, PMO all attended 3x week stand-ups. Used Kanban board to track tasks. Banner Upgrade standup 8;15-8:30, then various team stand-ups from 8:30-8:45. Good because people working on upgrade could take pertinent information back to team right away.
Wake - Have a Google spreadsheet with defects - people pull these as they have time to work on, these roll in with the upgrade, when testing is more extensive. Looking at what it takes to get to Banner 9.
