20 Years of Women in Agile
Anniversary Panel by AgileTD & the Agile Alliance

To celebrate 20 years of the Agile Manifesto the organizers of the Agile Testing Days/ Agile Testing Days USA and the Agile Alliance teamed up for a virtual panel discussion on the development of women in agile. Join some of the most influential women in the field on Tuesday, February 23 at 3 PM (EST) / 9 PM (CET) and learn more about the early and current contributions and challenges of women in agile.

Janet Gregory and Ellen Grove will moderate the one hour panel consisting of a wonderful round of guests. Linda Rising, Esther Derby, Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, and Ash Coleman will share their thoughts on the evolution of “agile” and non-men engagement. How have roles of women developed since the Agile Manifesto was declared 20 years ago? The authors of the manifesto were exclusively men, but who were the first women in the early days of agile and how were they represented? Which challenges did they have to face and specifically, what did they contribute? How have women influenced the agile movement? How did that affect existing structures? These are just a few questions that will be touched upon during the discussion.

Let's shed some light on certain contributions that might be too easily overlooked at times.
