Meeting Topic: Agile
Cultural Evolution an Experience Report
Meeting Learning:
During last month’s meeting on coaching, several of the members
expressed that they would like to hear what some organizations have done and
experienced in their adoption of agile practices and cultural changes.
Meeting Description:
This
meeting will be a panel discussion format. Tom Westervelt, Nathan
Lagergren and Steve Toalson will share their organizational backgrounds and
experiences around the adoption of agile practices and changes in the team and
organizational culture.
The
trio will discuss what has worked, what has not and what they have learned from
the experience. This will be an excellent opportunity to share your
thoughts and observations on the topic as well as bring your questions for the
community at large.
About the Speakers:
Steve Toalson is an Agile Team Coach
at Hallmark Cards (learning and practicing agile for 1+ year). He has
also been a Project Manager (formerly PMP Certified) at Hallmark for 5
years. He knew what he wanted to do when he was a freshman in High
school. He earned his BA in Computer Science from Washburn University and
went to work for Electronic Data Systems (EDS) for 8 years. He then
relocated back ‘home’ to Lawrence from the east coast to work at Payless
ShoeSource for 12 years prior to joining Hallmark. Steve has a passion
for working with people, which probably makes him suspect as a PM, but serves
him well as an Agile Coach.
Tom Westervelt has over 25 years of IT
experience in the healthcare and financial industries, ranging from design to
programming to project leadership. He is currently the lead Scrum Master
for the Business Process Solutions division of DST Systems, Inc. and has been

Sean Everhart is our presenter for our meeting on May 14th
at The EBS Group 11320 W79th St., Lenexa, KS.
Meeting time is from 07:00 PM – 09:00 PM
Sean’s Topic – Look into Office 365 Developer. This will
be a interactive and exploratory presentation on things Office365 developer
provides for developers.
Sean’s Bio–Sean did a brief stint of 2 years at Sprint
after college working on COBOL/CICS but then quickly moved into website
development. In 2000 I joined Jack Henry & Associates as the
webmaster for www.jackhenry.com.
My first website development language was ColdFusion, then VB.NET and for the
past 3 years my emphasis has been on SharePoint. I have been a manager
the past 7 years (I think), the first 4 years I managed a software development
team that built applications in VB.NET and SharePoint and then 3 years ago we
broke out SharePoint into its own development team and I took on the management
of that team. As of today I manage the SharePoint developers as well as
the SharePoint Administrators and my team is also responsible for managing the
corporate installations of Team Foundation Server, Project Server and a few
other smaller systems such as AtTask.
See you on the 14th.

Web & Google Analytics Monthly Meeting
- 2107 Grand Boulevard #208, Kansas City, MO (map)39.086819 -94.581566
Located in the Historic Western Auto Building 2107 Grand Blvd - Topic: Installing and Using Lucky Orange.
Lucky Orange (http://luckyorange.com) is a tool that lets you quickly see who is on your site and, if desired, interact with live users. It was designed to help marketers and publishers quickly and visually understand what is happening on a website, identify problem areas & observe and test possible solutions.
Lucky Orange is a great tool that lets marketers see how site visitors actually use your website. One of the Lucky Orange tool records and archives videos of user movements and interactions with your interface. Unlike traditional analytics tools, that just tell you who is on your site, Lucky Orange shows you what they are doing by recording videos of actual site visitor's behaviors. (watch a demo: http://luckyorange.com/watch_demo.php)
