Taste of Agile
This course is an experiential journey through the Agile approach, from start to finish, with a focus on the Agile values, principles, key practices and process. Participants will form teams and play different roles as they tackle fictitious projects (using a range of tools) from concept to final deployment. This course will enable the participants to get hands-on experience of what it means to work and think in an Agile manner.
The learnings can be used in any sort of team situation irrespective of whether software development is involved or not. This course is the start-up course that is recommended before attending any of the other Agile courses, as it provides the ground work for more detailed Agile experiences.
This course is part of the Agile Academy curriculum. Software Education is proud to be a founding partner of the Agile Academy.
