Given the heightening COVID-19 concerns, especially with large gatherings of groups, we are going to postpone the Women in Agile event until the Fall.

We hope that you’ll be able to join us on the re-scheduled date, and more to come on when the event will take place.

About Chicago Agile Open Space 2.0:
CAOS 2.0 is a practitioner-driven agile community, arranged around these Special Interest Groups (SIGs):

• Women in Agile
Jointly sponsored by Women In Agile (https://WomenInAgile.org) and Chicago Agile Open Space, each year we invite Five Women to deliver “TED-like” talks on their journey into technology.

• Beyond agile
With the signing of the Agile Manifesto approaching its 20 year anniversary, the Chicago Agile Open Space (CAOS) looks forward to hearing from engaging speakers in 2020 who are looking beyond Agile. What does going beyond look like when today’s agile is simply practiced intrinsically or perhaps altogether obsolete? If you are one of those free spirited folks who think that agile is dead and should be replaced with something better, we would love to hear from you.

• Software Crafting
Practices like test-driven development and pair programming have gained much wider acceptance in recent years. Engineering leaders are understanding the economics of software development in a different way, and these once controversial practices are increasingly sought after. We will present topics and discussions exploring the growing valuation of craft in software development.

• Diversity and Inclusion
"Regarding the topic of Inclusion & Diversity, we are trying to show the connection between Inclusion & Diversity initiatives that are sprouting in the technology field and team-building practices and mindsets. When we say diversity, we need to broaden the term “diversity” to include ethnicity, age, gender, educational background, and professional experience.

• Product Thinking
Product Thinking suggests focusing on outcomes which maximize success for our customers. Realizing that the things that make a product good are the result of customers seeing, trying and using the product. Since all of these things occur after the product ships, one should think in terms of Product Use and not Product Delivery. The Product Thinking SIG will focus on insights for knowing your customers and knowing their experiences with your products.

• Culture and Environment
When the culture and environment of an organization is conducive to the agile precepts of self-organization, learning experiments, and objective accountability, value flows easily to customers. Agile companies achieve accelerated, nearly effortless delivery of useful products and continual improvement in workflow, enhancing the bottom line.
