Introduction to Agile

Training Overview

Agile continues to be one of the most popular project and program methodologies of recent times. With its roots in IT and concepts borne out of Lean, organisations and individuals with an understanding of Agile are at a distinct competitive advantage, delivering products and services more quickly and more aligned to the customers value with the lowest development costs. 
 
Agile today is as relevant for software designers as it is for product developers and knowledge workers. With the customer experience and level of service expectations often the differentiator for a customer’s choice for your product and service, being Lean and Agile is as important as ever.
