I presented at the Agile Montreal user group meeting tonight. I had a really great time, talked for a bit over 1.5h straight. Basically I took my developerWorks article on Real Life Agile Planning experiences and turned iit into a French presentation. People had good questions and I hope I provided good answers to them. As usual, the first five to ten minutes were a bit stressful as it was the first time I was giving this talk. I think overall the flow was good. The attendance was pretty good (20+ people). If you took the time to come and see my presentation, thank you for coming. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to come see me present. Thank you as well for being so gracious to me, I hope I made it fun and interesting for you. I really enjoyed myself tonight and would have no reservations coming back for another presentation. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions or comments on the talk. If I get enough comments, I may create an additional blog entry for them. For those of you that are interested, the slides are available here. |

Back in January of this year, I started writing an article on the basic of agile planning. I was originally writing this as educational material for my team but felt it could be something publishable... So, for your reading enjoyment, you can find it on DeveloperWorks by clicking here. There are some differences between what I wrote and what they published so eventually, I'll put up the original version of the article on this site. |

I decided to write about one of my core values in business tonight. I've lead different teams in the course of my career and I try to live off the following motto: "People on the team need to be doing the right things for the right reasons?". I've explained this principle a few times to different people over the years and it's always a challenge for me to explain it clearly. |

I've been rather neglectful of the site in the last month or so. I've been doing a lot of writing at work and it's been consuming a lot of my time. I felt like doing a bit of a silly blog entry tonight. I was talking with a colleague this afternoon, let's call her Anne, who asked me to write up a paragraph or two on how I got started writing. Of course, I could not just leave it at that, would have been too easy... So for your reading pleasure, here's a mock interview I wrote tonight that she can use as input. |

Welcome to my little corner of the world wide web! My name is Steffan Surdek, I'm a software development professional living in Montreal (Canada). I decided to start this website in order to publish some articles I've written or am in the process of writing as well as for having a place where I can write down my thoughts on different topics such as Team Leadership and Agile Software Development practices. I intend to write based on experiences I've had in the last 15 years working in different companies. I hope you enjoy reading though the different things I willl discuss and that you find some nuggets of wisdom in there to take away and take action on! |
