Paul

REFLECTION: Working on setting up the OpenAgile Institute as a non- profit organization. Did much work to make OpenAgile.com easier to navigate.

LEARNING: How do we get the focus of the community to become a learning community, adopt a learning mode?

PLANNING: David and I will be creating Learning Groups to move towards a learning community. Small groups to learn about concepts within OpenAgile in a systematic way. Concept: groups of people who are doing Openagile or participating in an agile team, likely those who've done Readiness level so they have some knowledge of the OpenAgile principles and practices, and have weekly conversations online about one OpenAgile concept. The group members would consider the concept, try to learn about it by applying it to their work, and then share back to the facilitator of the group what they learned.

SHARING: Here are the statistics... OpenAgile.com ---> 276 members, 57 Level 1 Readiness holders 66 people on the Google Group
