Agile and Scrum in Action

Course Overview

This short course cuts through the noise and helps you to understand agile, Agile, Scrum and other tools that will make you more effective as a professional, in your team and in your organization. You wouldn't be the first person to wonder: What the heck is the difference between "Agile" and "agile." One has a capital "A" and the other not? The simple answer is this:
  • The upper case “A” Agile is an iterative approach detailed in the Agile Manifesto (initially described in 2001) to describe software development and project management with defined principles, values, methods, roles, processes and tools. Breaking down work, establishing self-organizing teams and seeking out rapid and "iterative" feedback, the expectation (and results) are that outcomes are improved.
  • The lower case “a” agile is a trait of an individual, team or organization that lives and breathes the principles of agility in everything (or most of the things) he, she or it does: flexibility, soliciting feedback, speed to results, preparedness and much, much more. "Organizational agility" is part of the very cell-structure and DNA of the business. It is live and breathed, not just documented in a certification or budget.
The agile way of thinking is best known in the field of software development, but the principles are increasingly being applied in other types of projects. Scrum is a highly used agile methodology and is suitable for all professionals looking to keep their knowledge up to date with the latest developments in the fields of IT and project management.
