Test driven development of possible feedback questions to ask, for assessing impact of the conference:
- Are answers to these questions likely to give us an overview of the effects of the Agile Open conference?
- Can we determine the relative success of the conference from the perspective of agile business and agile software development with answers to these questions?
- Does this list provide enough questions with enough variety (all four learning stages representing) to draw 5-7 questions or ideas from, for initiating effective discussions during the ClosingSession? (see questions in bold --Marc )
- Do these questions help us to determine whether to have and how to improve a next Agile Open conference?
