Description
This beginner-level course offers an immersive journey into the world of Agile methodologies, focusing on two most popular Agile frameworks: Scrum and SAFe (the Scaled Agile Framework). Here's what you'll learn:
Understanding Agile Principles The course begins by introducing the fundamentals of project management and Agile methodologies. After all, one can't fully understand Agile without understanding the product/project landscape from which it emerged.
Participants will explore the core values and principles underpinning Scrum and SAFe, such as iterative development, customer collaboration, and responding to change. Through engaging lessons and real-world examples, beginners will understand how Agile thinking differs from traditional project management approaches.
By delving into the Agile Manifesto and its twelve principles, students will gain insights into why Agile methodologies have gained widespread adoption across industries.
Getting Fluent with the Language of Scrum The course then transitions to a deep dive into the Scrum framework. Participants will learn the roles, ceremonies, and artifacts of the Scrum process. From understanding the responsibilities of the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team to comprehending the purpose of Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives, learners will clearly understand how Scrum promotes collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement. Practical exercises and case studies will allow students to apply Scrum concepts hands-on, solidifying their understanding of how to deliver value in a dynamic and flexible manner.
Navigating the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Building on the foundation of Scrum, the course then introduces participants to SAFe, a framework designed for larger enterprises and complex projects. Beginners will explore the four levels of SAFe: Team, Program, Large Solution, and Portfolio, understanding how each level aligns to deliver value seamlessly across the organization. Students will learn about essential components such as the SAFe House of Lean, Agile Release Trains (ARTs), and Lean-Agile leadership practices. By grasping the principles of SAFe's synchronization, collaboration, and continuous delivery, participants will be well-equipped to apply this framework in enterprises aiming for Agile at scale.
By combining theoretical knowledge with the "boots-on-the-ground" experience of the instructors, course participants will gain the skills needed to embrace Agile values, navigate Scrum practices, and comprehend the intricacies of SAFe's scaled approach.
Whether pursuing a career in project management, software development, or any job that favors a familiarity with Agile, this course lays a solid foundation for beginners to thrive in today's rapidly-evolving business landscape.
