Practices of Agile Teams
This course examines the roles and responsibilities of team members working on Agile projects, and delves into the specific practices which are used on Agile projects.
This is a two-day course designed to give participants an understanding of what to expect on an Agile project and the skills to be effective on one. The course can also be run internally as two separate one-day courses.
The first day covers the flow, the processes and the environment of an Agile project, giving participants an overall understanding of the Agile world and the tools and techniques used in delivering value. The second day covers the personal effectiveness, interpersonal and team skills that are even more important where power is delegated to the team and where nobody can hide from the need to participate in the conversations, conflicts and decisions involved in the projects.
This course has been designed alongside Agile Requirements - Stories and Agile Estimation and Release Planning to be delivered in-house, mixing and matching content from the three courses to provide an individually tailored training solution. If you are interested in running a tailored version of these three Agile courses in-house then please contact us.
