Agile Fundamentals

A fundamental course on Agile that is a lot more than just the fundamentals. Discover all the core aspects of Agile.

Jump-start your Career

A workshop that includes lectures, discussions, explorations and exercises which will give a boost to your career.

What will you learn?

Keep in Mind: Just because this course covers the “Fundamentals” doesn’t mean it's only for beginners. It's imperative for practitioners and leaders to have absolute clarity on the fundamentals to carry out their responsibilities properly. The more clarity you have on the fundamentals, the easier it is to handle more complex situations when they arise.

This course is designed to cover all the core principles and aspects of Agile without using any framework or methodology as the basis.

  • What is the deeper meaning of Agile and why is it so important today?
  • What is an Agile Mindset and what does it take to develop it?
  • What types of competencies are required to build an Agile Mindset and a sustainable Agile culture in an organization?
  • What is Value-Based delivery and how does it help in being Agile?
  • What are the benefits of the Incremental / Iterative Delivery method? (A brief introduction to Sprint.)
  • Where do Lean and Kanban fit into an Agile environment?
  • What is Systems Thinking and why is it important in an Agile organization?
  • What are the advantages and structures of Self-Managed teams? (An introduction to the Scrum Team.)
  • How does a culture of Learning and Growth expedite both Individual and Organizational Agility?
  • Do we need a completely different type of Leadership to nurture Agility in our people and teams?
    We’ll explore all of that, and more.

Check out reviews from the attendees.

What we expect from you?

This is not one of those free webinars used for marketing. We are only looking for people who have a serious interest in exploring, learning, and growing in Agile. Please commit to your registration and be available on time. If you can’t make it, let us know ASAP (no later than two days prior to the scheduled date.)

Make sure you are focused during the training time (10 am - 4 pm EST). Sessions are fully interactive and require your attention. There will be two ten minute breaks and one 45 mins break for lunch.

If you are new to Agile, its a good idea to read something on Agile before the class. There is a ton of information on Agile available on the internet. Just search “What is Agile” in Google or YouTube and see what people are saying about it. Keep notes on all your thoughts, doubts, and questions.

Because there is no formal test to take, your involvement and participation are required to receive a course completion certificate.
