About Us
Our Goal
Our goal is to build and support our people by focusing on both their personal and professional side. The highest measure of success is when our community experiences the joy of using their knowledge of process improvement and value creation to not only elevate themselves but support and improve the people, products, businesses and communities they touch.​
​
Why? People are most important. We want to empower our tribe to be change agents that will strive to make teams, organizations and dare we say the world, better.
Who We Are
We are a passionate group of practitioners who love our craft. We are community-run and driven; If you believe in continuous learning and improvement, we welcome you to this group and invite you to contribute!
Our History
Jon Stahl, founder and CEO of LeanDog and originally from Pittsburgh, has long been a strong proponent of Lean/Agile practices. While on a business trip in Pittsburgh, Jon realized there
was not a strong Agile community. If nature abhors a vacuum, so does Jon. He promptly created the Pittsburgh Agile Meetup group. Jon scheduled the first PittAgile Meetup on April 8, 2011.
Jon had stepped back and allowed us to self organize. Twelve years later we have over 2500 members, met over 130 times and hosted three regional conferences. We have partnered with multiple corporations and organizations representing diverse domains such as Development, QA, HR, Marketing, Business Analysis and Project Management.
We have brought some of the best Agile speakers to our Southwestern Pennsylvania community sourced locally and from around the country and the world. By doing so, we have helped to make people personally successful and implement Agile in every part of their organization.
