Overview 

Agile software development is based on principles defined by the Agile Manifesto, a disciplined project management outline conducive to dynamic inspection and adaptation. Agile methods include many product development frameworks such as Scrum and XP (eXtreme Programming), allowing rapid software delivery. The Scrum framework uses simple iterative practices for team collaboration on complex projects.

This program offers an overview of Agile development and Scrum practises, focusing on how the Scrum framework follows the Agile Manifesto principles. Learn how to harness complex processes and apply Scrum techniques to an IT and non-IT project through a blended combination of slide-based lectures and interactive case studies. Participants gain practical advice with real-world simulation exercises that align traditional project management to agile practices that help adapt to the Agile environment.
