Midwest Agile

Better Project Results

Who belongs here:
Midwest Agile provides a focal point for the use of agile methods in software development and implementation projects, in the Midwest. Our members include software developers, managers, business professionals, researchers, students, and people from all walks of life.

When we meet:

MA meets the first Wednesday of every month using GoToMeeting

How we promote Agile:

The group currently has a focus on the New North of Wisconsin and the Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area in Minnesota.  Our meetings promote networking within the community. We encourage members to ask questions, to offer to speak, to propose alternative meeting styles, and to participate fully. Each meeting starts with a half-hour for introductions and catching up on good stories. This is followed by a 30 minute talk by a distinguished guest.
