The event
Following on from the success of other BarCamps and especially the BarCampAgileWellington in 2007 the APN Wellington Chapter want to bring together anybody who knows lots about, or wants to know lots about, Agile (Agile Development, Agile Project Management, Agile Enterprise Architecture, Agile ...). This informal, self organising day will consist of quality presentations and discussions involving people with considerable experience in this area and a great opportunity to network with others in this space.
Please note this is not about vendors selling stuff or people telling you that Agile will solve all your problems. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet

Questions/Topic Suggestions
Add your question to the list below:
I'd love to hear about anyone running agile prioritisation and governance at organisation wide level, or at large programme level. - DouglasT
Experiences with FitNesse and similar tools (eg: Cucumber) and how well it has (not) worked with your end users. Has the technology scared them off, how do they know what fixtures are available, and so on. - BevanA
I would like to hear about User Stories: how they are documented for the long-term; how detailed they are; how to select what will be done in an iteration. - LarrieT

Some Background Reading
The rules of BarCamp (as listed by barcamp.org) are:
- 1st Rule: You do talk about Bar Camp.
- 2nd Rule: You do blog about Bar Camp.
- 3rd Rule: If you want to present, you must write your topic and name in a presentation slot.
- 4th Rule: Only three word intros.
- 5th Rule: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for.
- 6th Rule: No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists.
- 7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot.
- 8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don't really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant.)
The one, overarching rule is, all rules are there to be broken!
If you don't want to present then don't, if you don't want to blog about then don't - do whatever gets the most out of the barcamp for you and everyone else within the spirit of the particular event you're attending.
