What

Communities of Practice (CoPs) are organized groups of people with a common interest in a specific technical or business domain.

They regularly collaborate to share information, improve their skills, and actively work on advancing their knowledge of the domain.

Our purpose is to build a culture on professional networking, personal relationships, shared knowledge, and common skills on a specific topic. Here we're talking about Agility!

Wishes : Onboarding (dev) including Agile awareness, "the business is confusing" = how to collaborate with them, coaching/mentoring, Agile awareness & best practices

Struggles : spend time for Agile learning if not needed. No "what is in it for me", immediate usage.

Agile community : voluntary, attendance, SMs as mandatory in the Community events, dedicated coaching sessions team by team following the topic events.
