Our agile42 Community is an inspiring new place where we will continue supporting you in your growth and development as Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and Agile Coaches. Each month we will have a theme around which we’ll create events and activities, and stimulate discussions. Learn from this community and get support from our agile42 coaches and trainers.
