We acknowledge th at the manifesto and principles were developed to address the unique nee ds for software engineering and development. Over the years we have seen Agile frameworks\, both formal and informal\, emerge and be embraced by different people and organizations. These frameworks are now being leve raged outside of software development. We see some of these tools being applied across many different industries and disciplines. I believe we a ll share a view that iterative and incremental value delivery is a power ful tool. Self reflection and a commitment to continuous improvement is more than just a practice\, it is a value to be lived. Have we gotten to a place where it is time to have the conversation about (A)gile as a se t of engineering practices\, where (a)gility is how to empower people an d teams to do valuable work in a different way regardless of the industr y or product being delivered?

Sean Lemson has grac ed us with the topic: how to demonstrate the effectiveness of agile coac hing. Agile coaches are often asked to demonstrate their impact. Because we engage with many different types of levels and situations\, it can b e difficult to collect baselines and find metrics that adequately and ac curately demonstrate the impact. We are joining together to share what h as worked\, the experience the community of purpose has with this\, and how we might make this something we can use as we bring others along on this agile journey. Everyone is welcome to join and share their experien ce\, ask questions\, and listen to different viewpoints and insights. Ev ents are made possible by the AgilePDX community and our sponsors\, incl uding platinum sponsor ProFocus Technology (https://www.profocustechnolo gy.com/).

In our journeys we may find that honesty\, integrity and transparency are easier to do through conversations with individuals rather than ope n dialogue across organizational units. We need to find tools and techni ques to live into these values and inspire leaders on how to manifest ho nesty and openness in every conversation not just the individual ones. C ome together and discuss this topic with us at Ringlers Pub on Friday th e 2nd of August. We want to know your experience. We want to learn from each other and build our community of practice. We want a chance to disc over what we have not seen or gain a new perspective. You can find us in the back under the Crystal Ballroom\, ask for the Agile PDX group and y ou will find us over yummy food and drinks.

The Agile Manifesto h ighlights individuals and interactions and supporting project teams\, tr usting they will get the job done. Why are these values so important for effective collaboration and creation? And what keeps us from communicat ing openly? What stops us from suggesting an idea\, a solution... it's a unique idea\; it may be crazy\; it may be absurd. Maybe better to not s uggest it. \;\n \;\nAmy Edmundson shows in her TedX talk that none of us come to work to look "\;ignorant\, incomplete\, intrusive\, n egative."\; Of course not - we want to connect and contribute\, and make a positive impact. How can we get from choosing safe silence to cho osing our voices? What can companies do to instill safety to speak up\, safety to fail\, and safety to express ourselves? And what can we as pra ctitioners do\, as peers and leaders in our work environments? \;\n&# 13\;\nPlease join us for this lunch discussion at the Ringlers Pub. We w ant to know your experience. We want to learn from each other and build our community of practice.

Successful organisations are ones that adopt a feminist\, queer\, anti-establishment\, progressive mindset — one that is flexible \, experimental\, pushes boundaries\, self-organises\, and acts in servi ce of community."\; \;\n \;\nLets all get together at McMenami ns Ringlers Pub downtown and discuss this thought. Bring yourself and yo ur friends to our community of purpose and talk with us about this idea.
