Earning Credit Hours

By attending sessions at AgileDC you may be able to earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) for Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and other certifications from the Project Management Institute (PMI). 

SEUs for Scrum Alliance

  1. Presenting, coaching, and attending sessions all count as SEU-eligible activities.

  2. Additionally, because Scrum Alliance recognizes the value in impromptu ("hallway") discussions at Scrum Gatherings, SEUs for attendance are earned at the same rate. A maximum of 8 SEUs may be earned per day.

How will proposals be selected?

In order to balance between the experienced judgment of the Program Selection Committee and the possibility of unconscious bias in that judgment, we’re going to use a hybrid selection model this year. This process, and the rationale for it, are described in detail in on the submit a talk webpage but the short description is as follows:

  • Each submission will be checked by a reviewer for sufficiency and appropriateness.

    • Is the proposal related to Agile Software Development or the use of Agile principles in other fields?

    • Does the proposal abstract and title sell the audience on attending your session?

    • Is the proposal outline/structure clear and detailed enough including a description of the content, concrete examples, good time management, and balance theory and experience?

  • The reviewer may contact the submitter for clarification of the proposal.

  • All submissions that meet the minimum proposal criteria will be added to a lottery for random selection.

  • The reviewers will suggest, within the Program Selection Committee, submissions that seem exceptional or novel that they feel strongly should be included in the program. The committee will accept up to 8 of these suggestions based on the experienced judgment of the committee.

  • After that, speakers will be selected at random until the program is full.
