On October 22, 2013, PMI Atlanta Technology Forum was held at the HP campus in Alpharetta, GA. The forum started off with PMP Jeopardy Game (2nd time this year). Around 30 participants were in attendance. All attendees had fun and won prizes, too. The forum had a guest speaker, Mr. Sameer Bendre, who shared his views on Waterfall versus Agile practices. He illustrated with a few real-life examples on “why do we do as what we do” in both Waterfall and Agile methodologies. He distinguished between both methods with pros and cons. The audience was engaged in participation throughout the session and a good amount of time was given for the Q&A to benefit the members. The Forum concluded at 7:15pm with a huge expectation to bring back topics of this kind in the future. Thanks to all who attended, participated, and contributed.
Side Note: The original topic was announced as "Mobility – Evolve or Die" by Mr. Ben M. Johnson, who fell ill at the last minute. As a result, the forum changed the topic and speaker to Mr. Sameer Bendre (who accepted to speak with a short notice).
