This course provides a quick start into Agile Project Management. By participating in a case study, you will learn Agile principles and practices within the context of a real world project. Our case study will use a hybrid Agile process, using both Scrum and XP practices. The hybrid approach is becoming more common place as project teams establish a process that supports the unique variables of their environment.
Now more than ever, project teams need to deliver valuable software frequently within the constraints of changing business needs. Many project management methods view change as an exception and create additional impediments for the team. Agile methods embrace change and help the team deliver within the realities of software development.
Attendees will be given a free copy of Becoming Agile
