Women In Agile - Mentorship Program

Mentorship

We build mentor-mentee relationships that help Women in Agile community members unlock their full potential as leaders in the workplace

Mentoring Program

WIA’s Mentoring program focuses exclusively on women navigating their career within Agile enterprises and puts special attention to creating value and development opportunities for those who offer their time as mentors through monthly events.

Mentoring allows you to connect one-on-one with another community member. You’ll meet with your mentor or mentee at least once a month to inspire, motivate, and grow in your agile journey.

Whether you are an experienced leader interested in investing in the next generation of Agilists or you are just starting your agile journey, being a part of a supportive mentoring community can propel your professional goals forward.

How Our Program Works

Conflicts of interest and potential conflicts of interest can spoil a mentoring relationship. Our program is intended for professionals active or in transition, as opposed to students, and mentees must have an interest in furthering knowledge and/or a career in the agile community. Learn more about conflicts of interest that can show up in mentoring.

Mentees and mentors must identify as female or non binary and will be selected through a review process that seeks to maximize community impact. We’ll take the info from your application to determine the right match to support your professional journey. Apply to be a mentor or mentee or both!

Once you’re matched with a community member, you’ll meet 1:1 once a month for the next six months (or more if your schedules and needs align). Keeping in touch after your match term is up to you and not required.

Mentors are invited to monthly Power Hour events to level up their mentoring skills and grow their networks. Mentors and mentees will be able to provide feedback on mentoring effectiveness during the program and upon its completion.
