Gathers the global agile community, practitioners, and experts that have been assembled in Lisbon every year since 2014 to create momentum for agile. This day is divided into three tracks, the Technical Agility track, to help and teach developers how to create software and code free of bugs; the Business Agility track to examine the different endeavors of Business Agility and what can organizations do tomorrow, and the Agile Across Organizations track, that seeks to teach how organizations can extend their agile efforts to their business partners.
