If you’re not a member of the Agile Mentors Community you’re missing ALL of this...
Imagine a community of agile supporters willing to get you unstuck when you need it.
This is not your regular online community.
It’s an agile lifeline.
AgileMentors allows me to ask questions and get inputs from agilists around the world. There is always a new situation or a tweak on an old situation. It is invaluable to get different perspectives, learn what has been tried, what has worked and what has not worked. I enjoy answering questions. It allows me to put my thoughts down which helps me solidify my thinking. I consider it 'sharpening the saw'.

COMMUNITY FORUM
What makes this forum different?
It’s lively - members post every day on common problems, advanced learning opportunities, and their favourite hacks.
It’s engaged - No tumbleweeds. If you have a question you’re going to get (great) answers.
It’s respectful - No tantrums, no snarkiness, just positive, helpful people.

Planning with Story Points
Once you’ve estimated, how do you turn that into discussions with stakeholders and customers about how much, and when you’ll deliver those features?
In this bonus module, you’ll see why plans are as much about what you don’t know, as what you do. You’ll use velocity as a range to create realistic estimates, and even if your team has no historical data, you can still plan your project.
BONUS #4 - $49 Value
Want to know how agile works in the real world?
Struggling to manage difficult team members or stakeholders?
Questions about advancing your career to a leadership level?
And we’re missing you!
Here’s what some of our 1600+ members have to say...
“
As an Agile Mentor, I get to network with a wide range of Scrum Masters who are all at different stages in their Agile journey.”
Robert Navarette, Sr.

“
The most valuable thing to any “Agile Mentor” is inspiration!”
If you are not inspired by Agile values & principles, and their ability to “uncover better ways of developing software” then you will have a difficult time leading to teams to greater productivity, efficiency, and effectivity. AMC is another convenient, valuable avenue to engage your fellow Agile enthusiasts.

This is an awesome community willing to help others along in his or her agile journey.”
What you are likely to find in this community is someone who is or has gone through what (or something very similar) you are currently facing in your journey.

“
Some days I am knee deep in AMC reading, digesting, and responding.”
