The focus of agility, as set out in the Agile Manifesto, was, is and always will be on individuals. If you look at agile frameworks, people are often asked about results (review) or optimizations of their way of working (retrospective), exchange ideas intensively (daily, estimation & planning meetings) - so far, so good, communication is established.
But how important is the development of one's own personality in the team? What about growth, career, position, tasks, … and even salary?
In this Unconference Hybrid, we will address these and other questions brought by the participants. Richard Seidl will provide the topic impulse. What does he say?
Richard Seidl: “Technological development is progressing rapidly. All the new AI possibilities can make your head spin. But where are the people in all of this? Over the last 20 years, I've been involved in many agile projects and have observed time and again that all the methods, procedures and frameworks have a very strong impact on something that is fundamentally human: personal development. And this goes beyond dealing with values, beliefs and one's own identity. For me, personal development is even the core of an agile path - whether as a team or as an individual.”
As a consultant and agile coach, future optimist and software expert Richard Seidl supports companies on their path into the digital future. Unlocking potential and further development - these are the topics that drive him. For Richie, one thing is clear: if you want to create excellent products today, you need to think holistically: people, context, methods and tools - a mindset for developing potential and innovation only emerges when everything comes together.
He is the author of several books and is in demand as a keynote speaker on international stages. His latest project is an expert podcast for the software industry.
Our entire economic and business world is undergoing the most rapid upheaval in living memory. The only thing that remains the same is continuous change - even if it is accelerating. The key is to respond to these new challenges in a flexible, resilient, social and sustainable - in other words, agile - way.

RETROSPECTIVE ACUH 28. MÄRZ 2023
The first Agile Circle UNCONFERENCE HYBRID took place on March 28, 2023. Under the title “ChatGPT - the end of the journey?”, we asked ourselves how we can use ChatGPT for our own companies and also what is possible from today's perspective.
Hannes Lischka [https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannes-lischka/], Enterprise Architecture Manager at https://www.shareandgrow.at, provided the impetus for the topic
Who or what are the game changers of 2021? Which product, technology or company will bring about radical change? Which existing rules and mechanisms will be replaced by what? Numerous speakers have organized a content-rich day on this topic.
Further program highlights:
Keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Markus Hengstschläger on the ability to find solutions
Panel discussion
Unconference with all participants
Of course: Everything ONLINE.
RETROSPECTIVE AC UNCONFERENCE 2021
On 21.10.2021, an unconference meeting of the community took place under the topic “Digitization of software development”.
The program items on this day were: the introduction and clustering of the topics, a breakout session and a wrap-up of the results.
Where - ... does the agile community meet to beat the virus? That's right, the first Agile Circle ONLINE is ushering in the age of online conferences.
How - The organization of the Agile Circle ONLINE is once again based on the following principle: From the idea to innovation - this requires more than “just” technical understanding. Agile from A - Z. We show you how!
What is the content and focus of the Agile Circle ONLINE? Agile methods in management, software development and testing have become an integral part of today's working world. What are the latest trends? How does the theory work in practice? And what can we learn across different industries?
During or even after the many months of distancing, the question is more important than ever: how or through what can collaboration in the implementation of digital innovations be improved? We are placing this pattern as a beacon at the center of the Agile Circle ONLINE and will introduce experts who will present concepts and practical patterns along the IT value chain. From coordination between stakeholders, pairing, Cont. X, fast(er) feedback to operations.
Further program highlights:
Top keynote speakers: Jurgen Appelo, Tatjana Lackner, Monika Herbstrith-Lappe

Panel discussion
Alexander *weixi* Weichselberger has launched the Agile Circle. The Agile Circle is the meeting place for implementers of digital innovations. This is where agile managers, software developers, testers, product owners and scrum masters can meet, exchange ideas, be inspired and develop new ideas.
The Agile Circle brings together different perspectives on software development: management, development, testing and delivery.
In addition, the Agile Circle offers interested parties a platform for exchange via a variety of social media channels.
No result without a team! Behind the Agile Circle are many personalities who have played a key role in the creation of the Agile Circle.
Each team member was asked the following questions:
