Some of the details of the new Agile Government Center (AGC) are discussed in this blog.

Vision - A global network of governments, non-profits, foundations, academic institutions and their private sector partners who adopt and implement agile government principles to provide goods and services that fully meet customer needs and build public trust.

Scholars advance the profession through their writings and dialogues.

Few technological innovations offer the many potential benefits of artificial intelligence. AI tools range from entertaining to productivity-improving to life-saving, from playing poker or creating paintings in Vincent van Gogh’s style to transcribing audio to diagnosing diseases or predicting financial fraud.

Agile software development features small, cross-functional, self-organizing teams that include customers working quickly to deliver solutions in increments that immediately provide value. Agile delivery approaches support government goals of doing more with less and improving agency capacity to manage their budgets and delivery dates.
