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.

•OnlineListen, Build, Adapt: Improv Practices for Agile Teams
OnlineOur Agile & Scaled-Value Project Management Meetup hour in December 2025 is scheduled for Thursday, December 11th, 2025.
Time: 12:00pm PT/ 2:00pm CT/ 3:00pm ET
Topic: "Listen, Build, Adapt: Improv Practices for Agile Teams"
Our Guest Speaker: Kristian Ruggieri
An introduction to the meetup:
Learn agile mindsets by doing, not reading.
In this interactive virtual workshop, you'll practice the core skills that make agile teams effective: deep listening, collaborative building through “Yes, And”, and real-time adaptability. Through applied improv exercises, you'll build behaviors you can use immediately in sprint planning, stakeholder conversations, and team collaboration. Walk away with three takeaways grounded in the Agile Manifesto and hands-on experience applying them.
Takeaways:
Participants will develop three core agile mindsets through applied improv:
1. Listening is your most powerful tool
Agile value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
2. "Yes, And" unlocks collaboration
Agile value: Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
3. Adaptability comes from practice
Agile value: Responding to change over following a plan
Our Speaker:
Kristian has been performing improv for over 20 years and teaching applied improvisation for 8 years. She specializes in helping product managers and technical teams build the listening, collaboration, and adaptability skills that make agile frameworks actually work. Kristian's facilitation style is engaging, accessible, and grounded in adult learning principles—participants leave with practical tools they can use immediately.25 attendees
