About our community

Your Hub for Continuous Agile Growth

Whether you align with Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, or any other agile approach, our inclusive community embraces all perspectives.

What sets our community apart is the caliber of our leadership. It’s administered by agile leaders from various industries who are not only at the forefront of the training world but also bring a wealth of industry-specific knowledge. This ensures that the insights you gain are not just relevant, but of the highest quality, giving you confidence in your agile journey.

As a commitment to giving back, Grow-Lean proudly supports the Agile Open Community™ (AOC), providing free or affordable opportunities for individuals to learn, share, and discover how agile approaches can be effectively applied in various contexts.

Our events go beyond learning and networking; they’re also a practical opportunity to earn SEUs and PDUs, keeping your certifications current while sharpening your skills. Join us to enhance both workplace performance and personal growth.
