Bluegrass, Southeast Michigan, and Chicagoland IIBA Chapters are joining together to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a little early, and learn about some Agile Tips & Tricks from our resident experts. Bring your favorite Tips & Tricks to share as well as we continue to "Build our Community".
We will be dropping hints on LinkedIn as to what BA technique we will learn together during this event. See if you can guess what technique we’re going to cover before the event.
