What is Agile?
Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. Instead of betting everything on a "big bang" launch, an agile team delivers work in small, but consumable, increments. Requirements, plans, and results are evaluated continuously so teams have a natural mechanism for responding to change quickly.
Agile Executive Briefing Course
The Agile Executive briefing workshop explains Agile, its benefits, rationale and risks, theory and foundations right through to practical application and pitfalls. It is an essential introduction for those new to Agile from a leadership perspective who would like to learn more in order to be most effective as their organisation is on its Agile journey.
Scrumban, Kanban, Scrum. This overview is recommended for C levels, Principals, Sponsors, Business and Technical Senior Managers, and key organisational stakeholders (Finance, HR, Operations) whose organisations are either exploring how to improve the Return on Investment of a company’s technology investment or are already in transition to Agile. Executives and management play a key role in Agile adoption and it is critical to have a consistent perspective with clear expectations of what is involved for success.
