In our quest to make our new office build-out as Green as possible, our team took a field trip to the New Belgium Brewing Company offices here in Ft. Collins (luckily for us it’s just down the road from our new office!). For those of you not familiar with New Belgium, they are a nationally recognized leader in sustainable industry.  In fact, NBC Nightly News did a story on New Belgium’s sustainable approach to business not too long ago.

Agile Contracting at Agile Commons and the Agile Development Practices Conference

Post written by Chris Spagnuolo. Follow Chris on Twitter Add comment

Rachel Weston and I have have started a new hive on Agile Commons called Agile Contracting.  It’s a dedicated space for the agile community to discuss and share ideas about agile contracting in a non-agile world.

We’ll also be organizing an Agile Contracting discussion at the Agile Development Practices Conference in Orlando, FL, December 3-6.  If you’re interested, please contact Rachel or myself as we are trying to organize this discussion as one of the Open Space sessions on Thursday, December 6.
