What we're about
CALGARY AGILE meets the second Thursday of every month (September to May) at Improving Calgary. We provide a focal point for the use of agile methods in local businesses and organizations. Our diverse and inclusive membership includes software developers, managers, business professionals, researchers, students, and people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
We have a local focus and our meetings promote networking within our agile community. Members are encouraged to ask questions, offer to speak, propose alternative meeting styles, and to fully participate. Each meeting typically starts with a half-hour "meet and greet" session where members can socialize and have fun. This is followed by a one hour talk by a distinguished guest. We are always experimenting with more ideas, and encourage active engagement, so subscribe for the latest!
History: CALGARY AGILE has evolved since being founded as the Calgary Agile Methods User Group in 2002 by Dr. Frank Maurer and Dr. Grigori Melnik at the University of Calgary.

In today's fast-paced, ever-changing business landscape, delivering value to customers is more important than ever. But what is value, and how do we know when we're delivering it?
This interactive session will explore the key concepts of value and how to accelerate it using the Value Exponential framework. Through real-world examples, attendees will learn how to identify and deliver value to their customers, as well as how to measure and track their success using Evidence-Based Management techniques from Scrum.org.
The session will also explore the importance of valuing people and living by values, and how these elements are critical to building high-performing teams. Attendees will participate in small group discussions and exercises designed to promote dialogue and interject energy, and will leave with clear, measurable learning objectives that they can employ in their own organizations.
