Twitter is more than a sounding board for Cats, it can very helpful for keeping up to date on the latest Agile trends.

This is especially true when you find Agile Gurus sending over nuggets of information ranging anywhere from designing the next JUnit release, to where they’ll be presenting next week.

While you can certainly go in search of Agile Manifesto signatures on Twitter, you may be disappointed. Not everyone has embraced this new way of communication. Over the last year I’ve collected a number of Agile, Scrum and Lean experts that actually participate on Twitter in a meaningful way.

I certainly do not want this list of 10 to be the end of your Agile education. If you have an Agile, Scrum or Lean Guru on Twitter that others would benefit from following please share!
