First there was the pandemic, then the civil unrest, and don't even get me started on the politics, but seriously people - Murder Hornets?!?
I'm blaming it on the Murder Hornets. That's when I knew that 2020 just wasn't going to work out. In all seriousness, I gave the idea of a virtual conference lots of thought, but it just didn't sound like much fun. So, like many good agiliists we're going to call this iteration a bust and move on to the next one. See you next year!
The Agile Management Northwest conference is for leaders, executives and managers who use agile practices and techniques to help organizations find a better way of working and delivering value. Our conference provides a place to hear what’s working and explore new ideas with colleagues. Unlike many larger conferences, we are keeping Agile Management Northwest small, with only 60 attendees from local organizations, so that we can focus on creating a high quality, thoroughly engaging experience.
Agile Management Northwest facilitates community conversation and peer learning. For managers who need to understand what it means lead within agile organizations, our conference is an open space (Open Space Technology or Unconference) forum dedicated to leaders that provides a place for us to share our experiences, have conversations with leading agile practitioners, and find better ways to help our organizations become more agile.
Unlike other more traditional conferences our conference delivers community, ideas, and ultimately, action. Agile Management Northwest is focused on those of you who are accountable for successful outcomes and value delivery using agile practices.
Whether you are new to agile or a seasoned agile leader that has experience with agile practices, tools and techniques, we hope that you’ll join us for an engaging experience and gaining new ideas to take back to your organization.
The Agile Management Northwest conference premiered in September, 2016 with 80 attendees. Topics ranged from strategic leadership, managing distributed teams and the impact of offshore development to defining and measuring success, and organization structure including defining job titles/ families to support agile.
