From the Field: Applied Agile Training Report |
|
3Back LLC, in conjunction with Critical Point Group (CPG) ran their first ever "Applied Agile" training in Charlotte on Oct 1-3. "It was simply head and shoulders above anything that we have done before. The power and passion that came out of the course was unrivaled in our experience", said trainer Doug Shimp. The course offered total immersion into techniques for building and sustaining well-formed Agile teams. The immersion was achieved by combining classroom theory, simulation, and a unique opportunity to observe Agile methods practiced by the hyper-productive technical product development team at CPG.
The course was co-taught by Guy Beaver, Director of Software Engineering at Critical Point Group and Douglas Shimp, Partner and Senior Consultant with 3Back.
On day one, the class attendees got to view CPG's team environment and walked through the team work-space. The team space was an open environment with highly visible information posted on the walls.

Contributors To Local School Auction |
|
At 3Back many of our employees give regularly to local not for profit events by contributing both time and money. We believe in helping these local charitable events as directed by our employees since they can see and touch the results of their efforts. To that end 3Back often gives additional support and funds as sponsors. This support is directed by our employees. A recent event was an April Auction at St. Joeseph's fund raiser auction. We received a thank you that we would like to share. |

3Back Helps Soccer Mom Camp Get Started |
|
We believe in giving back to the community. A charitable organization that has caught our eye and one that we are helping to sponsor is SoccerMom Camp.
This camp was recently ran for the 1st time in May '07. Several of 3Back's employees were able to participate directly as camp attendees and also in supporting functions. This event was so successful that we are helping launch their concept by supplying some initial development activity and helping to organize the work.
The success of this camp was beyond expectations.
With all obvious things "the right thing to do" is to share this community building idea. That is why 3back is helping by providing startup infrastructure, conceptual planning and organizing some of the initial work.
