It seems that every business these days is called upon to be more ‘agile’ or ‘lean’.  But does that mean exactly?  Furthermore, a variety of other terms such as ‘iterative’ and ‘incremental’ get tossed around.  But at the end of the day, all that truly matters is how your organization can best align IT and Business in a way that is efficient and value-added.

This course can be delivered in one of two formats:

Option 1: A half-day executive overview of ‘Agile’ and how businesses can get more business value out of IT by cutting out non value-added project management and software development cycles and drive a better alignment between Business and IT.

Option 2: A full day format that includes a more detailed dive for project managers and team leads into Agile principles and opportunities.  This allows a more elaborate and organization-specific conversation to take place regarding the applicability of Agile in certain contexts.
