Agile for Peace - ALE 2015
With international development programs seen as hit and miss exercises and foreign aid failing to create the impact our policies desire the question is why are non-governmental organisations not adopting Agile/SCRUM in mass to design and deliver programs that deliver immediate and lasting benefits. Over the course of 2 years Peace Through Prosperity; a social enterprise has designed, prototyped, deployed an Agile, data driven social transformation program to alleviate poverty amongst the working poor and provide food security to the marginalised and vulnerable in conflict affected regions, in doing so reducing the risk of the community being radicalised or harbouring sympathy for extremist belief systems and organisations .
I'd like to thank the ALE community for the opportunity to share the journey, their time and feedback, thank you.
