Welcome to BeyondAgile: *people* making software that *works*


We're BeyondAgile, the fusion of two user groups from the Seattle area that joined forces and memberships in in 2009. We're interested in what our slogan suggests: how people can work together to deliver working software. Our members come from a variety of backgrounds, and we use Scrum, Extreme Programming, Lean, and other Agile methods and practices to do our work -- or not! 

Why "beyond" Agile? Each previous group found itself reaching beyond its specific practice area into broader topics, and so we decided together to try and move beyond labels and factions and discover new ways of working, learning, cooperating, sharing, and gathering.

Greater Seattle is divided by a lake and bridges and the traffic that goes along with that, but it's also isolated from the rest of the country and world by geography and time. So we've resolved to try and erase those boundaries and transcend those limits, by holding events that occur in multiple locations linked through video, and to record our events and provide them to anyone, anywhere, anytime through streaming and whatever else works.

Yes, we're ambitious, energetic, and excited; we're also self-organizing, open, transparent...and chaotic. Help us; work with us; make us what you want to be. There's nothing stopping you from helping all of us move beyond Agile.

See more on Group Inception.
