Welcome to Agile Edmonton

Agile Edmonton is a User Group run by volunteers with the goal of helping Edmonton develop better software using Agile methods.

Unsure what Agile methods are? You’ve come to the right place.

We meet on the first Wednesday of each month to discuss Agile topics.  While we feature presentations from leading Agile practitioners around the world, we also strive to build our local community by giving local Agilists opportunities to present their experiences.  Join us at our next meeting!
