About This Community

The PMI Agile Community of Practice focuses on delivering knowledge and providing a forum for virtual networking for stakeholders interested in, working in, or impacted by developments in the collection of good practices, principles, and techniques in Agile approaches to project management. Specifically, we plan to explore the relationship of Agile principles and practices to those of PMI, and how they may differ from or complement the teachings within the PMBOK® Guide.

Members of the PMI Agile Community of Practice will:

• Understand what Agile is and what it is not.
  • Learn about the Agile Manifesto and its associated principles and values.
  • Learn about common misconceptions about Agile.
  • Learn about the different Agile frameworks, practices and tools.
  • Learn about the benefits of Agile.
  • Learn about the (new) roles and responsibilities of each Agile team member.
• Develop a shared lexicon via a mapping of PMI terminology to Agile terminology.
• Meet others who are using Agile.
  • Network.
  • Share lessons learned, approaches, and techniques.
• Expand the knowledge base of Agile project management principles and practices.
• Provide outreach to the non-PM focused Agile community in order to provide them with tools and techniques that will enable them to manage their work better and ideally, find their way towards the good practices that members of this group are working to promote.
• Provide novice Agile project managers a new set of techniques and tools to use on their real world projects in addition to their traditional PMBOK® Guide based techniques.
