Agile User Groups
Agile Alliance provide a listing of user groups so that you can connect with people interested in agile software development. Inclusion in this index in no way obligates the user group to the AgileAlliance or subjects the user group to AgileAlliance rules. It is for information purposes only. If you want to have your user group included, send an email containing the information in the table below.
The speaker reimbursement program reimburses local user groups for expenses incurred when bringing in outside speakers. To gain approval in advance, send the information from the reimbursement request to the speakers committee.
The Agile Alliance can help user groups with a shadow bank account. To gain approval submit this form to user groups help.
