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. Our vision is to grow a dynamic global ASVPM community by launching local, in-person meetups, paired with live virtual streaming to share the energy of every session. Want to help us bring this vision to life? Partner with us as a Meetup sponsor and enjoy featured placement online, on our marketing materials, and live at the event.

An introduction to the meetup:
We have never had more powerful tools for building products and services. Cloud computing, AI, real-time data, simulation, and collaboration technologies have transformed what is possible. Yet projects still slip, dependencies multiply, priorities compete, and decisions slow.The future arrived. Management didn’t.
What if these aren’t isolated problems to solve, but familiar appearances produced by recurring structural patterns?
This session explores how inherited management assumptions propagate across organizational levels, why faster feedback changed the nature of building software, and how practices intended as means can quietly become targets themselves. We’ll examine why successful rescue missions can preserve the conditions that create crises, why culture carries survivorship bias, and why copying successful organizations cannot reproduce their fitness.
Rather than searching for another model to adopt, we’ll turn the mirror around and examine the organization as a system we design. The challenge is not to finally get that design right, but to create the conditions for people to exercise judgment, encounter reality sooner, and progressively get less wrong as circumstances change.
There is no happily ever after. Progress means becoming capable of solving a better class of problems.
Takeaways:
-
Watch the work, not just the worker: Recognize how recurring structural patterns can produce familiar behaviors and problems across organizational levels.
-
Distinguish means from targets: Examine when frameworks, practices, metrics, and transformations stop enabling capability and become objectives themselves.
-
Design for fitness, not imitation: Understand why fitness cannot be copied—and why adaptive organizations must continually discover what works under today’s conditions.
