Course Overview
As digital projects become more complex, user-centric and multi-faceted, managing them successfully has become increasingly challenging.
And it's for this very reason that digital teams are choosing to run projects using Agile principles and methodologies, in order to increase success. In fact, the Standish Group reported that Agile trained teams increased project success by 23%.
This one-day immersive Agile training course will teach attendees Agile principles, ceremonies and techniques, that will help them successfully manage and deliver projects within Agile environments, resulting in better managed projects, more effective internal processes, reduced risk, and ultimately happier end-users.

Interesting insight into Agile Project Management. A great course that gave me a real insight into a less traditional project management style. To fit it all into one day was a big ask, but training felt relaxed and pace was right due to trainers competence. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.
