The SPA 2007 conference organisers got in touch with me the other day to ask whether I’d like to run a session at the conference at the end of this month. I’d previously been notified that my session The Scoping Game, which was the reserve session, wasn’t going to be needed, but apparently they’ve now had someone drop out - just when I was feeling relaxed about not having to lead a session.

I previously ran a longer version of The Scoping Game at SPLC 2006 and it was well-received by the participants there. I’m adapting the session for SPA 2007 in order to make it more accessible for SPA participants and to account for the reduced time available. We’ll still have a chance to play two rounds of the game but won’t look in too much detail at the practicalities of Scoping in a Software Product Line context.

Details of my SPA 2007 Scoping Game session will appear shortly on the SPA 2007 site here.
