Agile Community

Member Initiatives

Driven by Agile values and fueled by our volunteers’ efforts, here are the Agile Alliance programs and initiatives made possible by your membership. We invite you to learn more about how your membership helps to build a more effective, humane, and sustainable way of work.

Current Programs and Initiatives

5 Saturdays connects with non-profit organizations and other groups to provide a learning experience for high school and college students in Agility using Scrum and Kanban, blended with career-focused skills in technology and business.
A burning issue for us and one that we think belongs under the auspices of the Agile Alliance is the lack of consistency in the discipline of Agile coaching and the lack of any ethical framework or code of conduct for that profession.
This initiative provides targeted career and professional development opportunities for global POC members of the Agile Alliance community. These learning opportunities will be primarily focused on mentoring and coaching.
The Agile Product Management Initiative’s vision is to be the leading forum for learning, sharing, and promoting the application of Agile principles and practices to product management so we can make better products in better ways.
Agile Alliance stands firmly and wholeheartedly in support of the Black community, and in the ongoing fight for racial justice and equity around the world.
This initiative exists to help teams make their Agile retrospectives purposeful and effective. We meet monthly to ask questions, get feedback, and share activities about our Agile Retrospectives.
Reimagine Agility is an initiative to promote Agile and Agility by re-examining and clarifying Agile’s core values and principles and extending those values and principles into new areas and communities.

Propose an Initiative

The Agile Alliance conducts much of its work via initiatives proposed by members. Some examples of past initiatives are topic-focused workshops, local Agile conferences, and academic research projects.

The primary requirement for any initiative is that it supports the values, goals, and purpose of the Agile Alliance:

  • To provide an unbiased forum within which the community can freely work to discuss, promote, and improve Agile development processes
  • To encourage scientific research on current and potential uses of Agile processes
  • To share information about Agile processes
  • To provide an opportunity for education in Agile processes
  • To provide a medium of communication with user groups in similar areas
  • To provide an opportunity for the formation of programs that further these purposes
  • To assist members in keeping abreast of new information regarding Agile processes as changes and advances occur
  • To communicate information and accomplishments to news media and to specialty magazines serving the field

To develop initiative concepts, please contact our initiatives team with a brief description of the initiative you are proposing, including how the initiative will further the work of the Agile Alliance.
