For Agile implementations to be most successful, it is important to have the appropriate support and trust from leadership & management. Executives play a key role in removing obstacles, empowering teams, motivating and inspiring the organization to better serve their end consumers. In order to do that effectively, it is critical that a common understanding exists amongst the executives and across the teams.  This forum will provide a foundation of Agile knowledge, both of principles and practice, which their teams will engage. Management will know what to expect and how to support the teams most effectively.
