  Quotes:

(Vijay)   

"It was the first attempt to do something of this nature and scale, and I think the results were awesome considering that. However, there are a few areas we could have done a bit better." ;

(Greg) :

"Project deliverable assessment phase is missing"  "Although the evening allowed for feedback from our judge, Sandy, we did not set up a means for assessing the state of the scrum deliverables.  Are they complete enough for purposes of the BPXSlam09, or does work need to continue? "
