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.

Time: 12:00pm PT/2:00pm CT/3:00pm ET
Topic: "Agile is Dead!"
Our Guest Speaker: Mike LyonsAn introduction to the meetup:
The headlines are wrong. Agile isn't dead! What's dying is the cargo-cult version obsessed with rituals instead of results. Want to win more agile engagements and deliver better outcomes?
Join this session with Mike Lyons from KaiRise to learn how they're partnering with firms to cut through the noise and deliver real results, chiefly using the power of AI-enabled, on-demand training and more. We need to get back to the first principles: improving flow, tightening feedback loops, empowering teams, and designing systems that adapt as quickly as the world changes. This event with KaiRise calls on transformation leaders to drop the dogma and rediscover true agility - small batches, decentralized decisions, and relentless learning.
Join us to explore what lowercase-a agile looks like today and how KaiRise partners with consultants to deliver it in real client engagements.Takeaways:
- Leading Teams with Impact
- Improving Flow
- Empowering Teams
- Relentless Learning
