We do agile in Japan. To some extent, at least. In this presentation, I’m going to introduce you communities in Japan centered around agile. Those communities played (and are playing) very important role to spread agile in Japanese software industry. Early days, they have been the window to cutting-edge agile activities in US and Europa. Many people loved, say, XP and tried to practice just to hit hard on obstacles. Yet they bring their failures to communities and discussed to learn from it. Communities also held offline events to let people meet each other.
