  6. Participant comments Joel Many teams say they are doing “Agile” but are omitting some key practices. Bill thinks use of Shodan / XP:EF or the comparative agility survey is important to help understand this in our teams. Joey Interested in using Agile with government projects (there was a session on this) Also, folks asked if there was material for Scrum Product Owners. There were several good sessions, including 7 Tools for the Product Owner Interfacing with an Agile Development Team by Alistair Cockburn. Note: if you attended and have some other observations, let Bill know and we’ll update these collected notes.
