Agile Project Practitioner meet-ups are community sessions designed to connect professionals who apply agile principles in project management, creating space for practitioners to:
- Share experiences from real agile projects across sectors
- Discuss challenges (like stakeholder alignment, shifting priorities, or hybrid delivery models)
- Explore tools and frameworks (AgilePM®, Scrum, Kanban, and others)
- Learn collaboratively through facilitated exercises, like Six Thinking Hats, TRIZ, Liberating Structures, and retrospective techniques
Why attend?
The meet-ups aim to:
- Build a supportive practitioner network
- Encourage continuous professional development
- Deepen understanding of AgilePM principles in practice
- Generate content and ideas for wider Consortium communities
They’re informal, collaborative, and practitioner-led, often shaped by community input via polls and feedback. Each session produces insights that inform future topics and communication plans (including follow-up by email and in our communities hub), comes with resources and continuous learning opportunities and is facilitated by an Agile Team Facilitator from the Agile Business Consortium.
What to expect?
Each meet-up runs for around 60 minutes, and includes:
- Welcome and context setting, usually a brief check-in and reminder of community goals.
- Interactive activity or discussion, guided by a theme
- Collective reflection, capturing takeaways and identifying future discussion topics.
- Signposting, highlighting Consortium resources, AgilePM qualification connections, or next meet-up dates.
