What I'm seeing on this site is that people need real help with understanding Agile. There is a ton of misinformation on here. I disagree with so many posts on this forum but I realize maybe my voice is needed here. How might I become a voice here? I a recovering PMO consultant of 10 years and now a 10 year Agilist. I have better case stories than most coaches I've ever met. How can I help?

Hi Jim, One relevant point is that some people here do not necessarily work on software development projects. I'm sure there are people here who are experienced in the same types of project as you. But there are others from non-IT fields who may have little interest or experience in the ideas of the Agile Manifesto. Techniques like Scrum or Kanban might still be relevant of course because those are ideas that do have much wider currency. If perhaps you mean by "agile" something other than ideas expressed in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development then it may be worth explaining that because not everyone will see it that way.

You're right David. My team is writing a book. Next project will be on marketing. Project before created a training program. Another team is writing software.
I try hard to apply existing methodologies (wherever they work) but many of certifiable project managers just simply forgot that it is all about experimentation and adaptation.

Jim,
We all welcome newcomers to play an active role in the community to share their experiences.
We look forward to your contributions.
new comers to the forum but I was a PMP 1 in 2002, I really hated the PMI by the time I was done with that process, they have grown and adapted alot over the years, mostly out of survival instincts due to the wide spread of agility in product development.I have seen much better growth but still way too much "let's do a hybrid approach" before we know how to be agile. it's quite the paradox. I look forward to re-engaging the Project World. Though I'm a hard critic (-;
