The Central Ohio Agile Association (COHAA), central Ohio’s fastest growing organization for Agile professionals, today announces its first annual “The Path to a•gil•i•ty” conference. This day-long event will be held on May 27, 2010 at the Arena Grand Theatre in Columbus, Ohio. “The Path to a•gil•i•ty” offers opportunities for IT and Business professionals to learn about nationwide trends in Agile software delivery, and the value organizations can realize by adopting this methodology.

“I am very excited about “The Path to a•gil•i•ty” conference,” said Jennifer Bleen, COHAA Chair and Board Member. “We have a great community of Agile practitioners here in Central Ohio. This will be a great opportunity to showcase our local talent and collaborate with national thought leaders on delivering business value better and faster.”

“Our goal is to develop a nationally recognized Agile conference hosted right here in Columbus, Ohio,” said Bart Murphy, COHAA Board Member and Conference Chair. “I feel we are well on our way to meeting that goal.”


“The Path to a•gil•i•ty” was developed to further COHAA’s mission to promote the use of Agile practices and principles in delivering working software to organizations. The event will feature national and regional Agile thought leaders providing sessions focused on a mix of business, technical, and organizational leadership topics. Attendees will include a strong network of regional Agile professionals. The keynote speakers for this year’s event are nationally renowned Agilists Ken Schwaber and Michael Mah.
