AGILE:
Community
The Agile method has been
developing for 15 years through
communities that organize
events from small one-hour
meetings gathering some
practitioners and beginners to
large conferences with
thousands of participants for
one week, and holding more
than 15 presentations in
parallel.
The website of theScrum
AllianceAssociation, one of the
most important association of
the Agile community (400,000
members in more than 175
countries), includes more than
380 registered groups, out of
which two thirds are in the US
and in Europe, while less than 10
are in the Middle East.
Agile Lebanon:
Established in 2013, Agile Liban
is a registered NGO at the
Ministry of Interior.
Agile Lebanon strives to support
the agile community in Lebanon
and the Middle East where it
exerts efforts to improve the
efficiency and performance of
the knowledge industry.
That’s why Agile Lebanon
organizes regular meetups as
well as, the AgileTour Beirut
Conference since 2013, the
unconference #PLAY14 Beirut
and co-organized the conference
in Dubai in 2015 and 2016
