Welcome to this Agile Community!

Hi, I'm Kelly Waters, author of the blog All About Agile and creator of this Agile Community.

I hope we can make this a thriving community where we can help and learn from others. To do so requires your participation, so why not go ahead and start a discussion, ask a question, write a blog post, or whatever captures your imagination!

Also, if you haven't already, please add a photo to your profile - it's so much better to put a face to a name.

Kelly.

Instead it documents common practices used in project…See More

Distributed Agile Teams

Hi everyone!  I often hear debates about co-location versus distributed teams.  In my opinion, I have no doubt that co-located teams are best.  But if you can't do that, I also believe it is possible…Continue

Metrics

Add Your Own Blog Post Here!

Go on, why not add your own blog post to this thriving new community?!

I'm sure you've got views and experiences that others in the community would find interesting and might help to inform their thinking. You don't have to be an expert, just talk about what you've done, what's worked, what hasn't. You'll be surprised how much this will help others in a similar position to you.

Kelly.

Dear Keely!
Thank you for supporting this community.
I really enjoy it.
Unfortunately, I came into a problem with the second video about Agile-Team™- "Agile-Team™ Overview" - that I uploaded recently.
The first video I uploaded some months ago is shown correctly, but not the overview one. Maybe because I used the

Hi Kelly

How long has this forum been going?
At 20:40 on December 30, 2009, Kelly Waters said…
Yes, fair point Ilja, my google group is one of them! I think it's worth a try though, since so many people approach me by email asking for help I thought maybe my blog has enough traction now to get it going. We'll see...

Will be interesting to see whether this takes off. Frankly, I'm not holding my breath, it wouldn't be the first Agile web forum that doesn't...
