"Running an event isn't easy. There's a lot of logistics involved, but probably the most draining is trying to find speakers that bring content that the event's audience will both want and draw value from. Agile Austin has experienced this pain for a long time, and it's only getting worse as we grow and get more and more programs to maintain. These programs can be as small as a lunch time presentation or as large as a full conference. To make things even harrier, Agile Austin has to do all of this work as a volunteer organization where we have a variety of community members donating spare bits of time while they are engaged in the majority by day jobs and other commitments.

We are looking for Project Growler to be a huge help in our efforts to better serve our community. Our biggest challenge is making sure that we provide top notch content about Agile methodologies and related topics. Growler can do that by allowing us to organize our events, our speakers...and their presentations. We could use it to track how well the speakers and presentations do and use that information to decide when to bring back certain speakers or topics. What would result is a body of content with a laser focus on our community, and we would succeed in our mission to support the Agile community in Austin."
