The Agile Practitioners Association of Nigeria,
Nigeria’s largest Agile professional body, announced today, Tuesday, February
22, 2022, plans to host the 5th edition of the Annual Agile Nigeria Conference
2022, themed “Continuous Improvement Strategies”.
While addressing the media, the association
confirmed that this year’s conference would be a hybrid event (Physical and
Virtual) and that participants can expect exciting and fully packed sessions, with
no fewer than 30 seasoned subject matter experts from within and outside of
Nigeria as speakers.
The conference is scheduled to take place from Tuesday,
1st to Wednesday 2nd March 2022 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
The Agile Nigeria
conferences are fun, super-creative, focused on bringing value to all her
participants and this year’s conference will
not be different.
Speaking on the forthcoming conference, the
Chairman of the Agile Practitioner Association of Nigeria, Mrs. Abiodun Osoba,
said it was in view of the period’s global realities brought about by the
COVID-19 pandemic that the association made last year’s conference a virtual
event and it turned out a huge success. For this year’s conference, she
revealed that the event organizer decided to make the conference a hybrid event
due to the restriction that has been lifted in most countries to enable
attendees to partake either virtually or physically, adding also that all COVID-19
protocols will be observed for the safety of its members, expert facilitators
and other participants who will be physically attending. “So, whether you’re with us in Lagos or joining
from across the globe, you will have the
chance to learn from experts, connect with the community, and leave inspired”, she assured.
She expressed confidence at the ample
opportunities and benefits the conference presents to everyone, most especially
the participants, in terms of improved levels of engagement, meaningful
deliberations and discussions, real-time Q&A, amongst others.
The Chairman added that the forthcoming fifth
edition of the Agile Nigeria Conference comes on the heels of the hugely
successful fourth edition held last year from Monday, 1st to Wednesday, 3rd
March 2021 which was online and attracted over 100 executives, managers,
software developers and researchers from over four countries who gathered to
hear from recognized experts, authors, innovators and practitioners who offered
their unique insight.
This year’s event will not be different from the
previous editions aimed at seeking emerging opportunities, growing appetite,
and further driving the evolution of Agile in Nigeria.
“We
will be introducing the Agile Games Night where participants will learn how
Agile works through Agile Games Simulations. It promises to be an evening of
fun,” she stated.
The
annual Agile Nigeria Conference is dedicated to furthering Agile principles and
providing a veritable avenue for people and ideas to flourish. The main
conclusions of the Agile Conference will be reflected and incorporated into the
declaration of how Agile will help transform workplaces, businesses, and
services as well as the adoption of Agile frameworks by the participants at the
Conference.
She
stated that the two-day conference is targeted at individuals seeking professional
development and aspiring to broaden their horizons in areas such as Agile
leadership, Change Management, Agile Mind-Sets, Systems Thinking, and Agile
Product Development amongst others.
The
Agile Practitioners Association of Nigeria understands that Nigeria needs
transformation in both the private and public sectors. This much-desired change
can be achieved using the Agile Methodology,
which allows a paradigm shift towards an innovative and problem-solving
mindset.
Driven
by market needs, customer expectations, and evolving technological innovation,
today’s constantly changing business environment is forcing companies to adopt the
Agile models of management and corporate governance—or risk being left behind.
The Agile Practitioners Association of Nigeria,
through its partners and members, provides the opportunity that will allow organizations
to connect with other industry leaders and jointly share experiences and insights,
helping all members and organizations to better navigate the emerging and
complicated domain of business agility.
“The ability
to quickly adapt is the lifeblood of modern enterprises, and our partnership with Agile
professionals in Nigeria and globally will complement our mission to help
organizations innovate, improve productivity, and remain relevant in our
rapidly changing world.
“Let
me seize this opportunity to on behalf of the management of The Agile
Practitioners Association of Nigeria to extend our profound gratitude to all of
our sponsors and partners for their immense contributions, support, and
generosity. Without them, we would not have come so far, especially with
regards to the quality and consistency of this annual conference,” she added.
