Constant fast change has become a reality of our time. Agile has become a popular leadership philosophy and a project management methodology for addressing this reality. While the theory is simple, it’s much more challenging to become Agile in practice.

To bridge the gap between an easy theory and complex application, you will learn three critical success components for executing the complexity of Agile in practice: the neuroscience of change, social psychology, and change management.

In this specialization, you will learn how to become an agile leader, how to build agile teams by using Agile philosophy and Scrum tools, and how to approach transforming a traditional organization into agile.

This specialization will prepare you to build change-resiliency within yourself, your team, and your organization and implement Agile practices where appropriate to leverage its maximum benefits.

What's inside

Five courses

Agile Leadership: Introduction to Change

This foundational course in the Agile Leadership Specialization builds an understanding of key agile leadership concepts. By the end, you will have a toolbox to evaluate and create a baseline for yourself as an agile leader.

Agile Leader Training

In this course, you will learn the neuroscience of change, why we are so change-averse, and how to train for change resilience. You will also develop a practice to help you be prepared for changes in personal life and in your career.

Developing an Agile Team

Now that you have undergone personal information, you will be better prepared to empathize, understand, and mentor individual members of your team on a similar journey. Leading teams towards change-resilience is not as simple as knowing and understanding the psychology of individuals multiplied by a number of team members. It requires a different approach.

Agile Organization

The theory of Agile is simple, but scaling it successfully requires experience, knowledge, and expertise. This course focuses on leading change at an organizational level and scaling Agile appropriately. We will explore seven change management theories and learn how to apply them in practice. We will also discuss best use cases for Agile and signs that it may not be an appropriate philosophy to apply.

Agile Leadership Capstone

This capstone project course guides you through creating a comprehensive agile transformation packet, applying concepts and tools from the first four courses of this Specialization.

Learning objectives

  • Apply agile principles and philosophy within your team and organization
  • Develop change resilience at a personal, team, and organization level
