Topic Overview:

We did this back in October, and it worked so well, that we’re doing it again.  We’ll begin the meeting by brainstorming on some Agile/Scrum topics.  We’ll all vote and select between 3-5 discussion topics.   Then, we’ll assign each discussion topic to a table – hence the name “table topics” :-) .  The group will split up, and people will sit at whichever topic table interests them.  Everyone at the table will talk about the specified topic for a fixed period of time (e.g., 25 min).  After the time limit, people shift to another topic.  That’s it – simple, fun, friendly, and informative!  The topics will be whatever we decide at the meeting, so bring your favorite troublesome topic or question (we’ll have some topic ideas too).   Depending on the number or people participating, we’ll probably end up around 3-5 “Topic Tables”, and 20-30 minutes per topic.  That will give everyone a chance to rotate through several discussions.

Special Note: Are you new to agile/scrum?  Well, do NOT skip this meeting thinking “I don’t know enough”.  This meeting format is a particularly great way to meet experienced people and capitalize on their experience.  Topic Tables are good for newcomers as well as experienced “agilists”.  Everyone gets exposed to multiple topics, many viewpoints, and tons of experience all in a single night.
