Global Affiliate

Agile Alliance Asia Pacific

Welcome to Agile Alliance Asia Pacific

We are a volunteer-run affiliate of the global Agile Alliance. We operate as Agile Alliance Asia Pacific and are incorporated as a not-for-profit society under New Zealand law.

We align with the mission of Agile Alliance and embrace the Agile Manifesto as our foundational values and principles.

Our purpose is to connect and uplift the people, cultures and communities of the Asia Pacific region through human-centred, sustainable agility. We are independent of commercial drivers and of any single method or framework, guided by and actively advocating for the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto.

We grow from local roots to shape global change.

We strive to

  • Keep the discussion and exploration of all things Agile a genuine community activity rather than one led by commercial interests. Sponsorship is welcome. Buying speaking time is not.
  • Build a community that spans the region and draws on ideas from across it, bringing people together to explore, examine and expand what it means to be agile in every kind of organisation.
  • Reach practitioners wherever they are, with particular attention to places and industries that are currently underserved.

We support the formation of local Agile community groups across the region and provide resources, guidance, and assistance to help those groups succeed. We run regional initiatives to further the adoption of Agile thinking, and we draw on the global initiatives of the Agile Alliance to support communities closer to home.

Why a regional affiliate matters

  • Access to international content and speakers
  • Contribution to the development of shared knowledge assets
  • Access to an international network
  • Opportunities for communities to co-host events and learn from one another across borders
  • A stronger collective voice for Asia Pacific practitioners within the global Agile Alliance
  • Support for emerging communities through grants and partnerships
  • Work that is more productive, humane and sustainable, for organisations and the people within them

Where we work

We began in Aotearoa New Zealand, and our board now spans New Zealand and Australia. Our focus for now is on those two countries, and we aspire to grow across the wider Asia Pacific region over time. If you are part of an Agile community anywhere in the region and would like to connect, we would like to hear from you.
