Course Description
This agile team intermediate-level course is designed to help practitioners decipher and solve problems that regularly arise in their work. This agile team training course begins with 16 video segments from seasoned Agile trainers and practitioners who provide tips and best practices for addressing Agile team challenges.
The course then presents 20 short case studies that test the student's understanding of Agile team training practices and provide guidance for resolving common problems. The case studies simulate the conversations and interactions that happen regularly on Agile projects. Analyzing these cases as narratives help students learn to deconstruct issues and diagnose the underlying issues that need correction, just as they would in their everyday work. As students decode these challenges and plan appropriate responses, they gain the experience they need to guide their teams and stay on track to deliver value to their customers.
Information in these courses is based on “A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge” (PMBOK Guide) — Sixth Edition, Project Management Institute Inc., 2017
Students can access the course and its materials for a period of 90 days starting from the enrollment date.
