AgileNow.Org is the new name for a social entrepreneurial nonprofit organization for engaged professionals that has been in existence since 2009 when it was called WORK IT UP.  

In 2020, as the Covid-19 Pandemic was exploding, our members determined it was time to re-activate operations and do their part to have a positive impact on the cratering national economy. 

The Board of Directors voted to rename the group AgileNow to announce that new work would be conducted in line with the values and principles of the Agile frameworks.

In 2009, AgileNow.Org was named, Professionals In Residence at the Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development (MCED) to serve as In-house staff supporting entrepreneurs who sought to create a start-up or grow an early-stage business that would add jobs to the economy in Maine. 

In 2011, AgileNow and MCED built on the success of their collaboration. 

Together they supported the work of the University of Maine STEM Entrepreneurship Program by providing mentorship and the delivery of numerous training modules to student teams led by our member professionals.

In 2021, the goal of AgileNow is to demonstrate the power of servant/leadership and collaboration as an important means of effecting change for the better in the wider business community in times of economic stress

. 

The vision for AgileNow is to serve as a community hub coordinating activities that would foster unity and mutual benefit between the two halves of its constituency by operating as a nonprofit Agile program management office (PgMO) dedicated to strengthening prosperity for all.

The AgileNow PMO will be staffed by registered member, working & non-working Agile professionals willing to donate their skills to struggling businesses in need of project/product assistance by volunteering 6-10 hours per week.
