OpenAgile is Social Innovation

 
"OpenAgile has been revolutionary for our company... really big impact."
- Jay Lawrence, CEO at Infonium Inc.
 

OpenAgile is a system for rapidly delivering value that is based on Truthfulness, Consultative Decision-Making, and constant learning. Anyone doing work that needs to be organized, effective, and high-quality can use OpenAgile. Fundamental to the OpenAgile approach is the strong conviction that individuals and interactions are more valuable than processes and tools, Truthfulness is the foundation of success, and generosity of spirit is the foundation of prosperity. By using OpenAgile to build capacity, improve processes, and generate rapid and deep learning, people can become more reliable, hyper-producers of value for their customers, communities and society. In this sense, we see OpenAgile as both a social innovation itself as well as a framework for empowering social innovators.

In the tradition of open source, OpenAgile is freely available to all. Anyone can learn about it, use it, and then contribute back to it. The OpenAgile Institute publishes the official version at OpenAgile.com and a community of practitioners works on the unofficial version at wiki.openagile.org. To ensure coherence and integrity, we use OpenAgile in our work as we further develop the methodology. Community Engagement Meetings are held quarterly, and all are welcome to participate.
