Should be interesting, wish I could be there, but seems unlikely now that I am in the "billable hours" sector. See what Scott has to say about BPM, and IBM's rules acquisition.

I certainly don't get the feeling that any means of producing better, more flexible systems is used, like BPM and BRMS. I think Agile will reach its own level of diminishing returns if it focuses only on how to produce software without onsidering changing the nature of the software itself.     I know the Agile community has conferences where proponents meet and attend sessions. Have you presented at any of these? Are they interested?. Hello James,
