About us
👋 Welcome to Agile International Graz! 🇦🇹
We are a spirited Agile Community of Practice rooted in Graz, Austria. Founded in 2021, our primary focus is building a strong, supportive network for local agile enthusiasts. However, by conducting our meetups in English and in Hybrid-mode, we aim to keep our doors open to the world, connecting our local members with international perspectives whenever possible.
🚀 What to expect? Approximately every two months, we gather for meetups that are designed to be insightful, interactive, and—importantly—a lot of fun!
We believe Agile isn't just for software development; it’s a mindset. Our mission is to provide a space for engaging discussions that spark new ideas for implementing agile practices in your professional career, but also in your private life.
❤️ Our Community is the Heart While we host fantastic experts, the true heartbeat of Agile International Graz is our members. We are defined by the curious, friendly, and supportive people who show up to learn, share struggles, and laugh together. Whether you are an agile expert or just starting out, you are welcome here.
🤝 Collaborate with us We are a community-driven effort, and we thrive on collaboration:
- Speakers: We are incredibly thankful for the many insightful speakers who have shared their wisdom with us since 2021. However, we are always hungry for fresh thoughts! If you have a diverse perspective or a new topic to share, we would love to hear from you.
- Hosts: The consistency of our meetups relies on strong relationships. We deeply value the trust we have built with our long-term venue partners who make our hybrid setup possible. At the same time, we are always open to exploring new hosting locations in and around Graz.

[On-site] Leading in Complexity: Why AI Won’t Save Your Plan
NETCONOMY GmbH, Brauquartier 2, 8055 Graz, Austria, Graz, ATAI promises faster answers, better forecasts and more control. But what happens when the problem isn't complicated, but complex?
In this talk, Dr. Thomas Pisar, physicist, executive advisor and author of Komplexität als Stärke (Wiley, 2026), takes us through the Cynefin framework and what it means for organisations in the age of AI. He explains why many transformations fail not because of technology, but because of how we decide, collaborate and deal with uncertainty.
We'll explore:
- Cynefin in a nutshell: Simple, complicated, complex, chaotic. Why it matters which one you're in.
- Where AI helps, and where it misleads: What AI is great at, and where more data and more control make things worse.
- Disruptions as a source of learning: Why organisations are living systems, not machines.
- Practical takeaways: How to make better decisions when outcomes can't be predicted.
Whether you work on products, support teams or lead change, this talk will give you practical ideas for dealing with uncertainty in your daily work.
