COURSE OVERVIEW
Traditionally Agile has always been associated with IT development. However, more and more businesses understand that the principles of Agile have a much wider area of use. Many business processes outside IT, can strongly benefit from a more Agile approach.
In today’s dynamic markets, leaders and professionals need a very different mindset from those used to manage traditional organizations in less-demanding times. Therefore, it is vital for leaders and professionals to shift to an agile mindset in adapting to changes and delivering incremental values to their stakeholders in today’s organizations that are increasingly designed for innovation, collaboration, and value creation.
Based on the Agile Manifesto, the programme focuses on how to apply the 4 Agile Statements and the underlying 12 principles to bettering the business.
Applying Agile to the business starts with developing a mindset that is in line with Business Agility and understanding how a more Agile approach to the business processes can create significant improvements in both the efficiency and the effectiveness of these processes
This workshop is created for those who believe in and want to know more about applying agile principles and practices to their business processes. It highlights the various agile approaches and uses the 4 statements of the Agile Manifesto and the 12 underlying principles as its basis. It will focus on the essential knowledge necessary to understand Agile and to decide how applicable it is to the business the participants are involved in.
