AgileDC is a not-for-profit conference organized by Agile Philanthropy.  Agile Philanthropy’s mission is to assist not-for-profits through fund raising and volunteerism.  For more information visit AgilePhilanthropy.org or contact Bob Payne 202-903-6854.

We’re planning a variety of conference tracks, so there should be something for everyone.  These tracks include:

Introduction to Agile

For those who have just started trying Agile, or are considering it. You might also find this track helpful if you’re looking for a tune-up of your Agile practice.

Agile Engineering Practices

Technical practices for programmers and testers. Learn techniques that make Agile development easier and more sustainable.

Agile in Government

Government needs software that works reliably and is delivered in a timely manner, too. Those in the public sector, on either side of the fence, face challenges that are a little different from those in the private sector.

Enterprise Agile

Particularly for executives and managers: How can your organization get the most benefit from an Agile approach.

Agile & Business

From the Product Management Office to Product Managers and Product Owners, how can you help ensure you get the right thing, when you want it.

Open Track

For those who’ve been around the Agile block once or twice, or who just don’t find a scheduled session on exactly the issues you face, bring your own topic and find other interested people to explore the answers.
