Agile Detroit

Agile Detroit is back! And we're reimagining what Agile means in Detroit and beyond, with special guest Jon Kern.

In the Age of AI, teams can adapt and respond faster than ever. But do they have the values and principles required to take advantage of it?

Join Jon Kern (consultant with The Adaptavist Group), co-author of the Agile Manifesto, as he takes us back to what Agile has always meant: getting value in front of customers early and continuously.

This event will be virtual, free, and open to everyone.

During this session, Esther will help us look at leadership through a different lens—not as a solo act of heroics, but as a capacity to enhance our environments so that everyone can thrive. We will explore how technical leadership is leadership too, how to promote change through attraction, and ways anyone can lead from the middle.

Detroit's own Quinton Quartel, creator of FaST Agile, joins us to explore how Agile teams can move faster in an era where AI is reshaping the way we work. Whether you're experimenting with AI in your workflow or rethinking team structure entirely, this session will challenge how you think about speed, collaboration, and adaptability.
