What we’re about
“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.

Topic: "A Leader’s Guide to Agile Coaching"
Our Guest Speaker: Bob GalenAn introduction to the meetup:
Some perspectives imply that Agile Coaching is for a small set of specialized agilists who serve to improve everyone else, or that it’s a unique role that others, including managers and leaders, shouldn’t do or will find difficult to master. This talk intends to debunk those notions. Everyone has leadership potential and can rise to be a leader. Leaders must learn to coach if they are to be effective.
In this workshop, Bob Galen will explore the nuances associated with Agile Coaching to demystify it and encourage you to find your inner Agile Coach in whatever leadership role you currently hold. He’ll share and explore the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel as a competency model for agile coaching. Next, he'll explore the critical characteristics of an agile coaching mindset. Finally, he’ll give you a chance to practice having a coaching conversation or two.
In this engaging and interactive workshop, Bob hopes to inspire you, so your inner Agile Coach emerges, grows, and shines.
Takeaways:
- Introduction to the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel.
- Critical aspects and characteristics for your agile coaching mindset.
- Exploration of a coaching conversation metaphor & guidance that will help frame your coaching sessions
