Course Overview

Many companies are now considering an Agile project framework not only for software systems development but also for pure business change projects. However, there is no one thing that is Agile, no one book that covers all aspects of Agile.

Agile is a set of common principles and shared techniques amongst several recognised Agile frameworks or methods; an organisation can choose to use just one framework/method or produce a bespoke framework/method based on best practice and terminology from two or more of those available.

This I day introduction to Agile covers the history, principles, processes, people and products that Agile practitioners generally subscribe to and looks at individual frameworks.
