Agile Beyond IT, how Agile, Scrum and Kanban can help you

Have you heard the term Agile and wondered what the hype was? Or maybe you've heard terms like MVP and User Stories thrown around and you want to know what they are (and whether they are being used correctly!). This course will introduce you to Agile Software Development - its history, values and principles - and then help you to consider how this mindset could help you and your team become more effective, efficient and engaged.

This course is designed specifically for professional knowledge workers - helping them to utilise the practices software engineers have developed to help them manage workflow, communicate and continuously improve. If you work in Marketing, Human Resources, Learning and Development, Consulting or a similar field this course has been created with you in mind.

The course covers the Agile Manifesto, Scrum, Kanban and some of the common supporting practices such as User Stories and Minimum Viable Product.

By the end of the course students will be able to confidently discuss what Agile is and the parts that are applicable to them. They'll be able to see through pretenders and have the ability to apply some of the tools and practices into their own teams.
