The PMI Agile Community of Practice will launch their community at a special event:

This group of PMI Agilists is sending speakers to present, hand out marketing materials and facilitate open space sessions.

This community of practice is PMI’s first newly formed community in recent years, and is dedicated to raising awareness of Agile practices and techniques among PMI’s members.
