Many companies are either thinking about becoming more agile or are already well on their way. The Agile movement has ignited a great deal of interest among developers and directors alike since the Agile Manifesto was first promulgated back in 2001. Behind all the hype and buzzwords, however, lies true organisational transformation that is often very difficult to achieve for some companies. Yet the benefits of transitioning to Agile are tangible and far outweigh the hurdles passed along the way.

This course introduces the fundamental steps necessary for organisations to transition to Agile in a meaningful manner, adopting whatever agile methodology best fits their needs along the way.

For some companies, this might mean Scrum, and for others it may mean Kanban or even a combination of two or more methodologies. Regardless of the choice, there are key shared concepts that must be adopted by these organisations in order to transform the way they do work.

The course includes hands-on exercises and case studies to supplement learning and facilitate decision-making.
