The reality is that getting the most out of agile is less about observing specific procedures and more about how a team focuses and measures their progress.
Rather than just boring you with the processes of agile methodologies, this course focuses on helping you better charter your team’s focus, definition of success, and practice of agile. While learning about agile mainstays like Scrum, XP, and Kanban, you’ll also learn to help your team ask the right questions about how they’re working and facilitate good answers on how agile can help.
