You are Still a Part of Us.
Today, we learned that a slight majority of the British voters voted to leave the EU.

Heart and Soul of ALE
ALE16 will happen in Paris. Last three days of August. Sponsor, and join us! Five years of Agile Lean Europe. What a journey, and roller-coaster ride!

Inspiring Blog: Jabe Bloom
I first met Jabe Bloom at the SFAgile2012 conference in San Francisco. We’d been in touch on Twitter before, and I’d always been impressed with the depth and breadth of his thinking.
