Description

Hello and welcome to Agile 101

This class is perfectly suited to anyone with little to no understanding of Agile.

In less than an hour, I aim to answer the question of What Is Agile?

Agile grew in the shadow of two important philosophies, Lean and Waterfall. I start with a brief description of both to help to lay the foundations. I then move on to give a high level view of Agile and the themes that are the fundamental building blocks. From there, I help you to understand the paradigm shift in philosophy that arrived with Agile. I then gives a brief history of the topic. Next, I move on to explain about the values and principles of the founding fathers before outlining some facts and figures to explain the growth. Ending with a short description of how Agile is moving to address the challenge of scaling to global enterprises.

And who should take this course? Anyone who wants a high level but comprehensive understanding of Agile.

BTW: I have a number of paid courses on Udemy. This course started as a two part webinar that I presented (Lean 101 and Agile 101). The feedback was great so I have decided to put it up here as a FREE course. The graphics are not brilliant but the content is good. I hope the quality is good enough for you!
