Details

Agile is a business process that emphasises highly reactive adaptible teams. First developed in the software industry, agile has now been applied to many industries both for project management and regular business processes

Agile Leadership is an often overlooked part of Agile. There is a lot of information available for Agile developers, testers, and Scrum Masters and Product Owners, but very little for corporate executives, nontechnical managers, and team leaders who play a key role in the successful transformation of an organization. This course will not only provide the necessary basics for Agile organizations but also serve as a response to the general manager's challenges in the increasingly complex business world of the 21st century.
