Objective

The course helps management teams prepare for making go / no-go decisions on starting an agile transformation program and selecting the right areas for the transformation by providing a strong shared understanding of Agile, the most frequently used frameworks and techniques to choose between them, and a high-level overview of how to lead agile transformations.

The Agile and Scrum part of the training material has the approval by Scrum Alliance (Sprint Consulting is a Scrum Alliance Registered Education Ally, SA REA).

Target Audience

The main target audience of the training are managers and leaders who would like to see whether Agile and any of the well-known Agile frameworks is a good fit for their organization and if so, what parts of it; who are involved in decision making about organizational changes and starting an Agile transformation, and also for those working in an agile environment, who would like to deepen their understanding and improve their organization.

Content

The training consists of presentations, exercises, simulation games, real-life stories and discussions of problems raised by the audience.

The format of the training is as follows:

Each day, until lunchtime the training format is an interactive presentation, the focus being on the theoretical parts of the methodologies, with a few small exercises.

After lunch, we conduct a simulation exercise both days. The goal of these exercises is for the participants to experience the teachings and to help internalize the theory. These exercises take around 90 minutes (+- 15 minutes) and are followed by a debriefing session.

After the exercises the original interactive presentation style continues. We explain all the topics on the training via real-life examples and case studies collected on / during past projects of Sprint Consulting’s consultants.
