Here’s a short list of useful resources if you are starting as an Agile Coach (bit London biased but then so am I). What would you add to the list?
Conferences
- Good list: http://lanyrd.com/topics/agile/in/london/
- Agile In the City is good (http://lanyrd.com/2016/agileinthecity/)
- I went to Agile Tour London (http://www.agiletourlondon.co.uk/) last year and enjoyed it – not until later in the year though.
- Agile Cambridge is good: http://agilecambridge.net/2016/
- Agile On The Beach has a very good reputation: http://agileonthebeach.com/
Meetups
- Agile On the Bench is a great concept: http://agileonthebench.co.uk/
- London Lean Coffee – http://www.meetup.com/Lean-Coffee-London/ – totally biased since I run the West London one, but these are great.
- Adventures with Agile: http://www.meetup.com/AdventuresWithAgile/
- Kanban Coaching Exchange: http://www.meetup.com/KanbanCoachingExchangeKCE/
