About us
“Agile and Scaled-Value Project Management” (ASVPM) is a periodic meetup and a forum for Agile practitioners, project and program leaders, team and enterprise coaches, volunteers, and students who want to share their insights and learn Agile as a mindset. This meetup is our public voice on how a group of volunteers is creating a self-organized global village of Agile thinkers and leaders. We are building a unique and the only existing volunteer-based Agile PM leadership organization built by volunteers and for Agile-minded professional leaders. We are employing any Agile framework that helps us to practically build our organization and learn self-organization in trusted environments. We apply Scrum, Lean-Kanban, eXtreme Programming, FDD, or any applicable Way of Work to apply “Agile mindset” and scale our values within teams and enterprises.
Due to our members’ diverse geographical locations, we will try to readjust the day and time of our periodic meetup to accommodate most of the Agile leaders to join in. This meetup is our public tribune to share our lessons learned with the community of Agile practitioners and learn from Agile leaders to elevate empirical leadership building in practice.
Periodic "Agile and Scaled-Value Project Management" Meetup will feature inspiring Agile coaches and leaders as guest speakers with participant interactions and ample opportunities to connect, share our insights, and learn how to build and scale Agile teams. Post pandemic, we will create in-person meetups at different locations to dynamically build a global ASVPM community, coupled with live virtual sharing of our joyful meetup sessions! Sponsors will be highlighted online, on marketing materials, and at the event. Please contact us (www.SVProjectManagement.com) if you and/or your organization are interested in sponsorship.

Delivering a Continuous Enterprise Data Pipeline
·OnlineOnlineOur Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup hour in May 2026 is scheduled for Thursday, May 28th, 2026.
Time: 12:00 pm PT/2:00 pm CT/3:00 pm ET
Topic: "Delivering a Continuous Enterprise Data Pipeline"
Our Guest Speaker: Scott AmblerPls. Note: To protect privacy and ensure a smooth session flow, we request that attendees refrain from using AI-assistive recording or note-taking tools during the meetup session. Thank you.
An introduction to the meetup:
Some people claim that data is the new oil, but in practice, data is really the new water – without clean and sufficient data, your organization cannot thrive. Clean enterprise data is essential for informed decision-making, improved business processes, and the development and operation of more effective artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.
In this talk, Scott Ambler explores industry statistics on the impact of poor-quality data, the organizational implications of the “data is the new water” metaphor, describes a Disciplined Agile (DA)-based approach to building a continuous enterprise data pipeline, and argues for the need to fix corporate data at the source.Takeaways:
- Leadership requires clean, continuous data for data-driven decision-making
- AI requires clean data for training, and clean continuous data for operation
- Building and operating a continuous data pipeline requires skill, hard work, and there are no easy solutions
- Data quality issues, data debt, are best addressed at the source
Our Speaker:
Scott Ambler is a Data Methodologist with Ambysoft Inc., leading the evolution of the Agile Data and Agile Modeling methods. Scott is an international keynote speaker, the (co-)author of 31 books, and a former Vice President at PMI. Scott’s latest book is Not Just Data: How to Deliver Continuous Enterprise Data.

Time-Oriented Software Development (TOSD) in the Age of AI
·OnlineOnlineOur Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup hour in June 2026 is scheduled for Thursday, June 25th, 2026.
Time: 12:00 pm PT/2:00 pm CT/3:00 pm ET
Topic: "Time-Oriented Software Development (TOSD) in the Age of AI"
Our Guest Speaker: Niels PflaegingPls. Note: To protect privacy and ensure a smooth session flow, we request that attendees refrain from using AI-assistive recording or note-taking tools during the meetup session. Thank you.
An introduction to the meetup:
In this highly interactive, PowerPoint-free, high-energy session, Niels will discuss with us how software development organizations can move towards flow, rhythm, and high performance, raising effectiveness tenfold, by abandoning notions of capacity orientation and by becoming truly time-oriented. This is a no-nonsense session where Niels will not only cover the abstract concepts. He will also discuss with us how to make the necessary change happen: fast and effectively, within development teams and beyond.What beliefs, patterns, tools, structures, and frameworks do we need to leave behind to produce a time-oriented, high-performing software development?
The answer is: An awful lot.
In effect, this session is about how to break through the barriers that have stood in the way of adopting truly agile, truly democratic ways of working.
Takeaways:
- How an “architecture in time” harnesses human and machine creativity—but also keeps that creativity in check
- Why concepts such as the OK Point and the Daily Portion are antidotes to AI-induced chaos in product development
- How to bring time orientation, flow, and rhythm to software development – leaving behind planning, scheduling, and measuring overkill, queuing, delays, and constant interruption
- How a European software company adopted a Time-Oriented Software Development (TOSD) system within a few weeks. Why you can (and should) do the same
- Why the AI breakthrough in software development is unlikely to happen without proper time orientation
Our Speaker:
Niels Pflaeging, a management exorcist, author, and researcher, is a passionate advocate for a new breed of leadership and profound change in organizations. He is the founder and associate of the BetaCodex Network, as well as a co-founder of Red42 and managing director at qomenius, with headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany. Niels authored 11 books on organizational leadership and change, including the worldwide best-seller Organize for Complexity, which was published in several languages. Together with Silke Hermann, Niels Pflaeging is co-creator of the open-source approaches Cell Structure Design, Relative Targets, OpenSpace Beta, and OpenSpace DEV. He and Silke Hermann also co-created several influential concepts of organizing, such as Change-as-Flipping, Org Physics, and Peer Recruiting. For the last two decades, Niels has been strongly involved in transformational change projects for organizations across Europe and the Americas. The Financial Times Germany wrote: “When Pflaeging shakes the dogmas of management, they crumble in his hands.”
In the Fall of 2025, Niels launched Time-Oriented Software Development, TOSD, bringing rhythm, structure, and consistent time orientation to software development – well beyond “Agile-as-we-know-it.”
Niels frequently publishes new articles on the free web magazine “Transforming organizations for good. Fast”.18 attendees
