Editor's note: This article is one of a series designed to be At Your Service as we all learn to connect with one another even while we're remote. Because together we are not alone.
Connecting with colleagues, family, friends, and even ourselves is vital.
If you’re looking to find a meaningful connection during this time of social distancing, you’ve come to the right place. We have resources for you (our community) to develop and improve your agile skills, nurture your mindset, learn something new, and hopefully have a much-needed smile too.
And by doing so, we can help strengthen the agile movement inside and outside of Scrum.
Connect with us to stay resilient. Have something to add to our growing list? Let us know.
