What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. – Jane Goodall
About Lean In Agile
Lean In Agile is a collective effort initiated by and tailored to women, committed to amplifying the viewpoints, expertise, and narratives of women within Lean and Agile communities worldwide. By connecting women across the globe, LIA encourages these individuals to leverage their understanding and skills as Lean and Agile practitioners to effect substantial transformations in both their personal journeys and the journeys of their colleagues.
Our Goals
1) Go beyond the traditional, hierarchical mentor/mentee model to recognize the multi-dimensionality of our experiences and strengths.
2) Create a “Team YOU” for professional and personal growth:
3) Identify key roles for members by participating in Spirals as Coach, Mentor, Facilitator, Counselor, Reviewer and more.
4) Profile and promote women in the Lean and Agile communities through interviews, podcasts, webinars, blogs and more.
5) Community outreach: Support girls in STEAM and Agile in Education movements to develop the next generation of women in our community.
How We Achieve
1) Create a community of women (through “Spirals” which are local groups) to help us engage, collaborate and create amazing things.
2) Expand our visibility and leadership within and beyond the Agile community by partnership and collaboration.
3) Creating spaces (regional, national and global gatherings) for women to expand their horizons by offering to and seeking from each other.
4) Apply Lean and Agile values, principles and practices to shape a stronger global community.
