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] Practical Tools for Better Conversations
TimeTac, Schmiedgasse 31, Graz, ATWe’re excited to invite you to an interactive session focused on one of the most important parts of everyday work life: conversations.
Most difficult conversations do not fail because of bad intentions — they fail when people stop feeling heard, understood, or safe to engage openly.
In this practical workshop, we’ll explore small conversational shifts that can create a surprisingly big impact on collaboration, trust, and communication at work.Together we’ll speak about:
✨ Reframing Difficult Situations: How changing perspective can change the entire conversation.
🧠 Tactical Empathy & Curiosity: Practical ways to understand before reacting or fixing.
🔥 Conversations Under Tension: Staying constructive when discussions become emotionally charged.
🔍 Fixing vs. Understanding: Why jumping to solutions often blocks real connection.
💬 Practical Exercises: Short interactive activities and reflection moments to immediately apply what we explore together.
This session is designed to be practical, interactive, and accessible — no special background needed, just curiosity and willingness to participate.If you want to join us remotely, please register for the Remote Event!
