Agile Open Northwest, a non-profit alliance of agile practitioners in the US Pacific Northwest region, presents our ninth annual Open Space conference exploring agile practices, techniques, realities, and visions!
Overview
THEME
Our new theme for the Open Space this year is “Agile Vision”:
- What does Agile let us see with fresh eyes?
- Where do you see Agile taking your shop?
- What do we see as the future of Agile?
- What role do you see for “QA” and estimates and projects?
- Do you see Agile scaling beyond company boundaries to the entire value chain?
- Do you see Agile scaling beyond the software industry?
WHERE IS IT?
The Leftbank Annex in lovely Portland, Oregon
