Agile Project Leadership Network (APLN) - Boston

Boston APLN is a local chapter of the Agile Project Leadership Network (APLN), which is a non-profit organization that looks to enable and cultivate great project leaders by focusing on:

• Value
• Customers
• Teams
• Individuals
• Context
• Uncertainty

These ideas are described further in the Declaration of Interdependence, which was written by the founding members of APLN and expresses the values that the group holds with respect to leading projects in today's chaotic world. To read more about the APLN visit the main web site.

The national APLN was founded by a group of people who are active in writing about, practicing, and evangelizing the movement towards fast, flexible, customer value driven approaches to leading projects of many types.

Although ALPN is separate from the Agile Alliance, our intention is to work closely with that group within the software community, but also work with people and companies outside of software and IT to help them become better Project Leaders.

Boston APLN is a forum where individuals can come together to discuss topics of interest relating to agile project leadership. Membership is free, the meetings are provided free to members through sponsorship by host companies.

Patterns:

Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language started the pattern movement. Originally aimed at architects, the concept of using patterns to describe oft encountered problems found adherents in the software development community.

The OverviewOfAgilePatterns contains a selection of patterns that agile coaches and consultants often encounter. A pattern is basically a recurring solution to a common problem in a given context and system of forces. Good discussion on patterns can be found at CM Crossroads and a comprehensive patterns almanac maintained by Linda Rising is available at Patterns Almanac.
