Launching Agile20Reflect
Our Huge Global Agile Community Festival on the 20th Anniversary of the Agile Manifesto
#Agile20Reflect
Yesterday we opened most of our operations on the website and we are open for business. And we need your help to make it happen. Can you help us? We think we have created a pretty good open format for a global community event for free events that can scale around the world. Our website has all the details so start there. The Trustees are very happy with progress and weekly updates are here
Here is a QuickStart
Why are we doing this? With the world in a pretty terrible financial state due to Covid, Politics, Climate Change we wanted to bring all Agilists together to build bridges and to learn from each other. There is probably no one Agile Community but many different communities, this community based festival aims to be open to all building bridges within and between communities. Having a Festival that allows us to learn, meet new people and have fun seemed like a great idea. So we started talking about it and many many people wanted to do something simple across the world online.
Ambassadors are the key to being global inclusive Festival
So here is what we are doing. We are getting a fleet of Ambassadors across the world to work locally with companies, groups and local meet-ups to host events around the world. Hosting events and activities on local languages and culturally appropriate to wherever they are happening. Perhaps seeding the growth of Agile Communities around the world.
Central Programme and the Volunteer Speaker Directory
We register those events in a central programme and people can see all the events on our website and get links to book those events. That's the Global, Local events. To help the local groups and the Ambassadors we have a directory of Speakers willing to talk at events around the world. This is the Volunteer Speaker Directory and it's free to get on there. I am hoping some big names will show their Agile Community credentials and register there to be available to speak at local events around the world.
Themes and Events
The Events are to be focused on The Past, Present or Future of agile. All events are recorded and those records become part of a lasting research data set. In the future people can use those events to self learn and create their own learning paths. And all of that is free for everyone. We really hope that all organisations take part and unlock their creativity to put really interesting things into the programme.
What kind of events
Anyone can do anything as long as it's related to Agile or the Agile community. We will just be doing a light safety, code of conduct check. If we get 2000 Complaint events we will be happy to have them on the programme. So dust off all your ideas you had for conferences that did not make the cut. Why will this be awesome? Because we will have the greatest, inclusivity and diversity of ideas, learnings, retros and hopefully future improvements.
