Agile in Practice Overview
This 1/2 day Agile workshop builds on the content in the agile course and is designed to help answer the key questions What Next - Now What?
Whilst the courses are focused on a specific syllabus to prepare for certifications, this Agile workshop focuses on how to embed the learnings from those courses.
The Agile workshop is very interactive and engaging and facilitated by PM-Partners Senior Agile coach. The coach will be at hand to answer those questions many individuals and teams ask when they get back to business as usual after attending a course.
This workshop is designed for anyone who has completed any of the agile courses run by PM-Partners, such as:
- Agile Fundamentals
- AgilePM® or AgileBA®
- PRINCE2 Agile®
- Scrum Master Certified (SMC®) or Scrum Product Owner Certified (SPOC®),
- Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) courses
Whilst the above courses are not direct pre-requisites, participants would find it beneficial to have attended one of the courses listed above (or similar).
KEY TOPICS
Common topics covered:
- Setting up for success
- Cultural resistance
- Estimating for real
- Writing effective and compelling user stories
- Decomposing epics
- Prioritising when everything is a ‘must have’
- Measuring what matters
- Reporting and governance to gain support
Each participant will be asked to complete an on-line survey, using the PM-Partners Capability Hub, to determine how they are currently performing in an agile environment and to highlight any pain points.
At the start of the workshop, participants will identify their key challenges and vote, as a group, on the top 3 topics/challenges. The topics will then be explored, and solutions worked through, via coaching, group discussions, and interactive activities.
Workshops will be facilitated by one of our highly experienced agile coaches.
Exam: No exam, workshop only.
