The AssistKD Agile Awareness Workshop discusses Agile development and covers the fundamental Agile components including principles, methods and techniques. It is intended for anyone wishing to understand Agile and appreciate how this approach is used in practice.
To give you more of an idea of what you’ll learn and how the course will help you, here’s a quick guide to the day.
- The Agile Philosophy
- Agile Principles
- Agile Methods
- Agile world view
A printed copy of the latest edition of the comprehensive course manual will be sent to your home address in good time for the start of your course. Our delegates tell us that having access to a physical document is beneficial as both a reference document and for taking notes during the course. In addition, a link will be emailed to you to enable you to access an electronic copy of the same comprehensive manual for convenient future reference.
