Agile Tour 2024

Let's share and deliver a whole day experience of discovery, failure, success and learning.

Community Conference!

During the last 14 years in Sydney we have had a great time learning, sharing and growing together, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.

Our theme for 2024 is "The Next Step, The First Step."

We chose "The Next Step, The First Step" because it is so open to interpretation and creates a delicious cognitive disonance when people try to reconcile why it feels like it's backwards. It's the puzzle of our current age in agile, it's a tautology of a tautology, that is a repeat of the things we are trying to do to improve ourselves. Here is your invitation to engage with the community to come together to explore possibilities about the future in these uncertain times. Whatever crossroads you're standing at now,... "What do I do next?"

Guiding Principles

This year we will create the same collegiate atmosphere by honouring our guiding principles:

COST NEUTRAL EVENT

Agile Tour Sydney is a non-profit conference run by practitioners for practitionerswho are directly involved in the trenches and who are prepared to participate actively and share experiences.

LIMITED TO 120 ATTENDEES

An attendance constraint enables an intimate event where attendees can connect with new friends as they reconnect with old friends.

ENGAGED TO LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER

This conference is NOT about self-congratulation and happy ending fairy tales but rather the sharing of warts-and-all failures, hard-fought successes, and practical activities to help you address your real-world challenges.

OPEN SPACE AND ACTIVE FORMAT

An extremely interactive gathering where hands on sessions are practical, engaging and based on real-world experiences.

WORKSHOPS

Agile Tour is entirely workshop-based. You'll engage with other like minded agilists in a shared learning experience.

The work of showing up, the work of doing, the work of being present. The idea of doing work in a shop, in a place for making, where work is shipped— changes everything.
