Diversity in Agile Series: Your Team Needs Women

[D.André Dhondt]

A few months ago a project was funded by the Agile Alliance to start promoting more diversity on our teams--meaning that when we look around the team room, we want to see variety in terms of educational background, gender, culture, and race.  This program will roll out in an iterative fashion, and will bring news-like coverage of compelling stories of everyday team members that are doing great work.

The first iteration is a focus on Women in Agile.  Although not all the details have been set, it is already possible to publicly recognize one (or more) women you consider to be role model(s) or who have made a significant contribution to your career:

Please join us in acknowledging the support we've received from the women in our midst, and in so doing, expand the positive influence they've had in the community.
