Subject: [Apln] Call for Papers APLN Leadership Summit - 
London  
  
Our last summit was sold out! The next APLN 
Leadership Summit will be in London, England, in Tuesday, November 7, 2006, 
during the Agile Business Conference. For more information about the conference 
go to the Agile Business Conference site (http://www.agileconference.com). 
One aspect of the Leadership Summit program is an 
experience session that focuses on stories, both successes and failures, about 
the role of leadership in agile projects and enterprises.  The APLN is 
searching for compelling stories about the use of agile leadership at the 
project, product, and/or enterprise level.   
Each experience report selected will be provided to 
the summit participants prior to the Summit and posted on the APLN Members 
Network (http://apln.sharepointsite.com) website.  Then during lunch the summit participants 
will have an opportunity to discuss the experiences with authors in a small 
round table setting.   
The experience report should cover one of two 
topics:  
Agile Project Leadership - describing the application 
of agile leadership principles and practices in a project setting to deliver 
value to the final customer.  
Agile Enterprise Leadership - describing the 
application of agile leadership principles and practices in a broader 
organizational setting.  
An experience report is a story that you have 
experience first hand and that would be of interest to summit attendees. 
Experience reports should reflect your direct experience with one of the topics 
above.   
Experience report proposals should include: 
 Title and one-paragraph summary 
 A brief description of the project background 
 Your story about what happened, focusing on 
the most interesting and unique aspects.  Conclusions: what you learned, what you'd do next time, and advice for 
others.  Focus on the story of your experience 
so readers can learn from your experiences, just as you did.  
Please submit direct experiences only. If you provide 
services such as consulting or software, please avoid the appearance of bias by 
sharing experiences that do not promote the services you provide. Reports with 
commercial sales content will not be accepted.
