Building on the success of the previous conferences and three years into our new regime, XTC brings you the Agile Software Development event XPDay.

XPDay is designed to be “by practitioners, for practitioners”. The Agile community has grown and matured over the years we’ve been running XPDay, so now we want an event that helps practitioners collectively advance the State of the Art.

XPDay will be a mainly open space event with two prepared tracks

• Technical track
• Experience report

XPDay is underwritten by the eXtreme Tuesday Club, but it still costs money to run. Following the lead from the Citcon Conference, we’re asking for contributions. Our suggested levels are:

We need more sponsors so if you know of a company that might sponsor us, please let us know.

This is a practitioners event, so we want to make sure that every attendee has real-world experience of Agile development. We're asking everyone to write up some aspect of their experience that they think others might be interested in. We'll use these reports to help seed topics for discussion. We might also ask some of you to volunteer to write yours up in more detail for publication in the event magazine or for a brief presentation.

We're especially interested in hearing about failures, although successes are useful too.

Please write up one to three paragraphs based on this structure:

1. Background context

2. What we wanted to change

3. What we tried

4. Something that succeeded

5. Somehing that failed

6. Something that surprised us
