Hello,
I think that there are two events that are worth considering:
On thursday March 18th, there will be an SAO Corvallis
Tech Pub. at 5:30 at the Ramada Inn on 9th street.
The speaker will be Dr. Peter Middleton, Professor of Computer Science,
Queens University, Belfast, UK - It will be an informal
discussion about Lean programming.

web site at http://www.sao.corvallis.or.us
On the next day, there will be a 1/2 day workshop:
Applied Lean Software Development Workshop
March 19, 8:30-12:30 at HP Corvallis

-----------------------------------------
In a half-day workshop, through a combination of discussion
and hands-on simulation, we will demonstrate the successful
application of Lean and Six Sigma to software development. We
will present results from an actual project. We will show
benefits in improved software release predictability, speed,
team productivity, and quality.
You will take away practical insights into how to improve your
own software development process and implement change in your
business.
