The OpenAgile Capacity-Building Program is designed with a few simple goals in mind. The Capacity-Building Program encompasses individuals, teams and communities as they are building capacity to use the OpenAgile system. The program is used to:
1) Recognize individuals, teams and communities/organizations who have demonstrated capacity in their application of the OpenAgile system.
2) Create the framework of capacity-building related to the principles and practices of OpenAgile.
3) Embody the principles of OpenAgile in the Capacity-Building Program itself.

NOTE: the OpenAgile Capacity-Building program is currently under development by the OpenAgile community. More information can be found on the OpenAgile wiki.
