This year, nearly 1400 attendees contributed to the second largest Agile conference in Chicago, USA. Next year the Agile 2010 conference will be in Nashville.

I have used some time to do some reflection about the conference. I also got back to a more stable internet connection (the internet connection at the conference hotel was not that stable…), so now it is time to do some more thinking and writing.

Instead of writing about all the sessions I attended, I thought it would be more interesting to slice the whole conference in different areas combining the many different viewpoints into some kind of context. If you are interested in all the sessions, you can find the complete program with all the sessions at www.agile2009.com.

I have selected to view the conference from the following 5 slices:


For the following days, I will post a new slice. In that way, I will try to incrementally create a more complete view of the conference and try to put the value from the sessions into a context. At least from my point of view.

Stay tuned more to come.
