New Scrum User Group

I will be helping the  Ottawa Scrum User Group kick off its first Scrum User Group  meeting. User groups are something that are intreguging to me because they bring up issues of sustainable community structures. I will be curious to see what kinds of internal structure unfold , how they are put in place and how those structure lead to sustainability. I have helped and seen many local interest groups come and go. I have learned to appreciate just enough structure for a Scrum User Group. I am being sent by both 3Back and the Scrum Alliance at the request of Ottawa Scrum User Group. I will be delivering a short Scrum In A Nutshell talk. 

Why help?

Several reasons:  help local communities that are interested in Scrum, support the Scrum and the mission of the Scrum Alliance, work withlocally talented people to build a collaborative community, help my company 3Back and finally it is fun and helps me professionally. I am actively involed with the Scrum Alliance and have seen that growing  local Scrum User Groups, helps us all. 

Read the Scrum Alliance “Scrum User Group Guidelines“, getting started is easy and I can help.
