About the course:
Our instructor-led Agile Project Management Training Course is aimed at anyone coming into Agile from a background such as Prince 2 or ITIL, who needs to understand the business drivers, benefits, processes, and implications of moving to an Agile methodology - and then actually doing it.
This Agile course is designed to lay bare the jargon, dispel the myths, and inspire you and your team to embrace methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban, in order to work in harmony with Agile software development teams - whether in-house or out-sourced / off-shore development teams.
Our Agile training includes a variety of interactive exercises to bring relevance to the theory and keep you on your toes.
By the end of this course, you will have learnt:
- What Agile is and isn't
- Understanding Scrum
- User Stories and Agile Estimation
- Managing a Backlog
- Agile Planning
- Visualisation using a Storyboard
- Scrum Roles in depth
- Scrum on concurrent projects
- Introduction to Kanban
- Putting it all into practice
Who should attend
Project Managers, Business Analysts, Product Owners, Developers, Testers, and other involved team members.
Prerequisites
Delegates will ideally be aware of the processes involved in capturing user reequirements, and key aspects of project development and management. If not, we can help with that too!
Live, instructor-led online and on-site training
We appreciate that you need flexibility to fit in with new working situations - whether you're an individual, part of a distributed team, or simply have projects and deadlines to meet.
Our remote training can take place online in a virtual classroom, with content split into modules to accommodate your scheduling challenges and meet your learning goals. Get in touch today to find out how we can help design a cost-effective, flexible training solution.
