Course Description
Agile is not one methodology. Agile is an umbrella heading that defines a philosophy with foundational principles to follow that help us solve the problems faced in the complexity of software development. We will explore the core principles and introduce some of the methodologies that are based on these principles. We will connect the ‘Why of Agile’ to the ‘What of Agile’ showing how the ‘What’ helps you accomplish the ‘Why’. We will discuss the impact of Agile on an organization. We will introduce the pre-project discovery steps that lead up to investing budget in an Agile project. We will discuss the path to Agile Adoption within the organization.
