About Agile Montreal
Founded in 2011, the Agile Community of Montreal is a non-profit organization.
Our mission is to facilitate and promote the adoption of Agility within organizations in Greater Montreal.
Thus, at Agile Montreal, we encourage and support the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences related to agility in the broadest sense within the Greater Montreal area.
The community is thus composed of professionals from various backgrounds.
How do we achieve this?
To promote the adoption of Agility, we offer agility professionals of all levels (from beginners to advanced) activities and events led by and for the community, facilitating networking, information exchange, and the development of knowledge and skills.
We facilitate :
- Monthly activities (conferences, workshops, networking, etc.) that are free and accessible to the entire community upon simple registration.
- The establishment of communities of practice related to agility.
- The organization of Signature events such as Agile Tour and Spark the change.
By and for the community
Agile Montreal is primarily made up of passionate individuals, both men and women, who are inspired by the principles of the Agile Manifesto. These are professionals who are dedicated to transforming the world of organizations, guiding them towards a more human-centric and efficient paradigm.
- All activities, regardless of their scope, are proposed and implemented by volunteer members of the community, supported by our co-directors.
- All funding for the non-profit organization comes from sponsorships by companies within the community.
- If you too want to propose a project, an idea, a community of practice, or if you want to join our extraordinary volunteer teams, let’s get in touch.
