First Mo-Kan RUG (Revit User Group) meeting!!

There have been numerous requests to start a Revit user group that covers all three Revit products - Architecture, Structure and MEP. A group of three of us have gotten together to do just that – to start a group that is driven by the user's needs, wants, and insure members input and some control over group's topics and discussions. This will be the first of what will be monthly Revit User Group (RUG) meetings for any and all Revit users of the greater Kansas City area. Food and drinks will be provided, and hopefully some give aways. So come prepared to meet other users and us (Angela, Heathe and William) and our sponsors (no sales pitches), and we'll set the stage for what we plan to be fun, but informative and edifying get togethers.

Meet at: ITT Tech, 9150 East 41 Terrace, Kansas City, MO 64133 (816) 276-1400

Date & Time: July 29th @ 5:30pm – 7:00pm

Meeting Topic: Individual Personas – Understanding who’s on your team and how do they work?

As any agilist understands the leading statement of the Agile Manifesto (www.agilemanifesto.org) states that value should be placed on ‘Individuals and interactions over processes and tools’. As anyone who has spent more than three days in the business world knows getting ‘Individuals and interactions’ to function correctly is hard work, especially when compared to processes and tools! So how does one successfully promote individuals and interactions on teams? Why is it important to do so?

Come to the next Agile KC meeting on July 29, 2010 at the Pizza Shoppe and find out; or at least find out Martin Olson’s thoughts on the topic. Martin will lead a discussion about the importance of the team \individuals and interactions from an agile perspective and will also lead a session on identifying different types of personalities that one can encounter and how to deal with them. Bring your war stories too and compare your emotional scars with others in the community.

Hope to see you there!
