Agile Awareness

This one day awareness course opens more questions than it answers, but that’s the nature of agile mindset. We’ll go through the basic ideas of agile and lean, and how to fit them into your daily work. We’ll use metaphors and highly interactive activities to introduce the concepts, and to connect them to your workplace. Be ready to move some furniture around, play balls and work with your colleagues on various tasks. You’ll even be assigned a homework!
The course itself is an example of a product or service implemented in an agile way, so watch carefully how the coaches deliver the content to you.
