Agile Avengers teach the fundamentals of agile working, including introductions to the scrum and kanban frameworks.
Description
You're probably here because you've heard about sprints, stand-ups, scrum or some other Agile buzzword, and you want to find out for yourself what it's all about...
What is the course goal?
At Agile Avengers, our mission is to help unlock the power held within every team. We created this Introduction to Agile Course to give you the jump start you need to understand what agile actually is, and how you can put it to work practically in your team or personal projects.
The goal is that you could go away and explain agile to your grandparents over Sunday lunch and then feel confident trying out some agile practices in your work team or personal projects.
What does the course cover?
In this course we'll cover:
What is agile
Where did agile come from
Agile values and principles (mindset)
Agile frameworks and practices (process)
Case studies, hints & tips and much more
Who presents the course?
Each lecture is presented by two experienced Agile Coaches (Ben & Amy) who have years of experience working with agile at some of the worlds largest corporations and digital organisations. They've seen the power of agile first-hand and can share practical experience alongside the theory.
Ben & Amy founded Agile Avengers with some other colleagues after seeing the power of agile tools and techniques first hand. Agile Avengers now provides resources and content for individuals and teams globally to understand and apply agile methods in their work and personal projects.
