2021 WAF WINNERS

 
 

The WAF Awards 2021 will take place on September 24th, 2022


We are promoting a 100% in person Conference, with the option of watching it online.

Talks and panels from industry leaders will be followed by a formal awards presentation. Organization leaders from around the world attend this premier event each year.

SAVE YOUR SEAT

The path to Agility is a huge challenge for most organizations and very few have been able to persist, succeed, and ultimately derive the benefits that Agile delivers.

The organizations recognized at the event will be selected in each category by the WAF Jury. The jury may recognize more than one nominee or may choose not to accept any. It will validate each submission and reach out to each nominee within 30 days to ensure completeness before proceeding to the next steps.

The process and criteria used to validate nominees will be consistent across all participating organizations. The nominees that do not qualify will be notified.

Selection will be based on:

  • The information provided with each submission (including answers to any additional questions);

  • The case study and/or video explaining the nominee’s motivation and story. These must include written references plus an explanation of the path taken to Agility and the value/benefits the nominee realized upon becoming more Agile.

If your nomination is accepted, you will be invited to participate in direct:

  • If you plan to attend the event, you’ll need to prepare a speech that is no more than 5 minutes in length;

  • If you will not attend, please record a 3-minute video that we can share with the audience.
