Agile Fundamentals (ICP)
The starting point for all teams and organisations who want to take an agile approach is to understand why such an approach is beneficial. This course explains why using an agile mindset is important, then explains how you might apply the mindset in a real-world situation. In effect, it explains why “being agile” is important, but also how to “do agile”.
This 2-day or 3-day course is accredited by ICAgile. It is the foundation course for all other tracks in the ICAgile Agile Delivery learning roadmap and provides a solid foundation upon which further specialisation can be developed. For more information on the learning outcomes covered by this course, please see the ICAgile website or contact us.
