Communities
Agile delivery community
The agile community exists to:
- share information about how to use agile ways of working in government
- give agile practitioners the opportunity to share experiences, observed behaviours and best practice
- give people a space to discuss and challenge the way agile methods are used to deliver government projects and products
Who the community is for
You might be interested in the community if you use (or want to use) agile methods to deliver government projects or products.
You don’t have to be in a software development role to join.
Get involved
Join the cross-government #deliverymgmt Slack channel.
