Description:

We hear a lot about Agile these days.  What exactly is Agile?  How does it work?  Is it really faster?  This workshop takes the equivalent of experience 8 weeks of Agile and is compressed into a 4-hour workshop.  Here is an opportunity to learn more than theory.  Come experience Agile for yourself.  All levels of Agile experience are welcome and have benefited from this workshop.  This is a hands-on, highly participatory experience.  Space is limited.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand basic Agile principles and techniques that can be applied immediately.
• Learn applicable ways to structure work that allows for more creativity.
• Gain insights on creating high-performance teams to improve motivation and encourage empowerment.
• Understand and apply key concepts of MVP and Good Enough.
• Become a leader in experimentation and leading teams through incremental sprints to drive faster results.
• Increase creative problem-solving skills
