Introduction
Founded in 2008 by the first three people certified in Scrum in Malta, Agile Malta was created to raise local awareness of Agile principles and the various Agile ways of working. Over the years, we organised annual conferences, hosted regular talks, and provided Agile consultancy to companies transitioning to Agile in Malta.
From 2014, Agile Malta became inactive when some founders moved abroad and another took an involuntary break from professional life.
History of Agile Malta
Back in 2008, Agile was practically non-existent in Malta.
Many companies still used the top-down, command-and-control mentality prevalent in the 1990s.
From 2009, after a newspaper article about Agile in Malta, interest grew rapidly, and we began receiving more requests for Agile transition support.
In 2013, I was employed full-time as an Agile Consultant to help a local company adopt a learning-oriented, Agile mindset.
In late 2014, I ventured into the beyond, and when I returned to the workforce, I found employment as a Scrum Master, a role that had was not seen by me before.
As in other parts of the world, Agile, and the word Agile, has seen a decline in recent years. We believe this is largely due to cargo cult practices: using the word Agile without embracing the principles and foundations of the Agile mindset.
