Agile For Managers

As a manager, you’ve probably heard the word agile being bandied about. But how can it make a real difference to your organisation? And more importantly, how can you make it work for you?

Agile delivery is the way of the future, and the present, with a greater emphasis on delivering on time, on budget and to the satisfaction of the customer. Our Agile for Managers program is a highly practical one-day workshop that explores what agile is, how you can benefit from an iterative and collaborative approach, and what it can do for your business. It covers methods including scrum, XP and kanban, and it will help you to prepare for the change that agile brings.
