The Agile Community

Around the world there is a global network of people who, with little fanfare and deep dedication, incubate ideas that change our world.

They are the ‘agilists’ — those who adhere to the Agile Manifesto published in 2001. They meet in small and big rooms, around tables and on stages. They help each other to make good ideas great.

If you want to be part of the agile community, this session will open the door to this global movement. With candour and generosity, the speaker invites you to join and shows you how. He reveals why you’ll love it. And he illuminates the path he took to becoming a leader in the global agile community.

You can join the agile community, too. If you are willing, you are welcome.

In this session, you’ll discover how to:

• benefit from being part of the agile community
• plan and win a speaking gig
• lead an in-house agile community of practice
• be seen as a leader within your corporation and your community

When agilists get together, they change the world. You can be part of that change.

This session follows the progression of an agilist who wants to make a global impact. We start off by exploring how you can engage the community and create great events like Scrum South Africa. We then transition to how those lessons can be applied internally at a corporation. And then we wrap up with how you can foster and nurture other people on the same journey. We go beyond personal and corporate enrichment and conclude with how you can enrich the human race.

Participants will learn how to:

• save time and effort and still be a great member of the community
• plan a Lean Coffee event
• organize a local a conference or “unconference”
• run “tracks” at national or global conferences
• develop communities across corporations
