About This Group

We are Agile Boston, the MA Chapter of the APLN, a nationwide federation of users groups dedicated to promoting, spreading and enabling Agile software development practices worldwide.

We meet once a month. We start monthly meetings promptly at 6PM and end at 8PM. (Lots of people hang and talk after 8PM, so plan on lingering if you want more informal networking time.)

Mission

The mission of APLN Boston is to explore agile leadership in agile projects, agile product portfolios, and agile enterprises in the region. The Agile project Leadership Network's (APLN) overall mission is to connect, develop, and support great project and enterprise leaders using Agile methods nationwide.

Each meeting of the APLN Boston Chapter is your chance to network with leading regional experts in the area of Agile Leadership, and to share your experiences and concerns with them and other leaders, who are in the same situation as yourself.

Boston's Chapter of the Agile Project Leadership Network

Each meeting features a speaker and networking opportunities. APLN's Boston chapter targets both new and seasoned Agile leaders – both organizational leaders and project leaders, within IT and outside of IT. The group educates through a tutorial and networking focus. Members and other attendees discover, share, and develop tools and techniques for becoming great leaders in their organization.

APLN Boston meets once a month. APLN Boston provides:

o Networking opportunities at each meeting;

o Mini-seminars and experience reports on Agile Leadership

o Successes, failures, best practices, experiences, advanced leadership tools, and models

Each meeting also features an open forum, where participants raise issues and get answers in an open, peer-to-peer format.
