Managing Agile Projects

Mastering Agile Projects

Agile projects cope with business environments filled with constant change through enhanced communication, close collaboration between project stakeholders, iterative development, adaptive planning and self-organizing teams. This workshop enables participants to learn and practice Agile project management methods and to adapt them to individual business environments. The Agile practices of Scrum, Extreme Programming and Kanban are explained and practiced, and the skills needed to build and foster collaboration and accountability within cross-functional teams are emphasized.  The course also addresses key factors and potential pitfalls to be considered when planning a transition to Agile.
