Module 1 — Applying the Agile values

First of all, we will do a deep dive into why Agile Manifesto came to life and how it changed the management world. This it what started it all, and this is what we’ll start with. Before we go any further, you will understand the reasons a switch to new ways of working was necessary. We’ll do a little history lesson using powerful frameworks.

At the same time we will uncover the Agile values one by one. By the end you will know exactly what each value means in terms of business decisions, relationships with customers and employees, as well as approach to management and leadership.

Module 2 — Understanding Agile Principles

Without the twelve principles, Agile ways of working are often misunderstood. We will spend the necessary time to understand how each principle affects the organizations and individuals. With a clear view on the full approach, you will be able to support your progress in this space as well as support your teams to successfully adopt Agile. This is where the Agile mindset comes to life.

And to help us in the next module introducing Scrum, we will also look at exactly how each principle is linked to Scrum.

Module 3 — Demystifying Empirical Process Control Theory

Scrum stands on three pillars of empiricism, it cannot succeed without empiricism. However, not many materials really cover this topic in a simple-to-understand way.

We will review the empirical process control theory through the lense of a practical approach. Without the overly complicated language you will be able to understand and even explain it to others with ease.

We will look into how empiricism helps organizations become more agile and how it supports Scrum teams in their development efforts.

Module 4 — Modelling Scrum Values Based Behaviours

Values is the life of Scrum.

Without understanding the meaning of Scrum values, what we get is Zombie Scrum, lots of ScrumButs and simple processes that everyone hates.

We will look into what kind of culture and behaviours Scrum values encourage and discourage and what can be considered unethical in the context of Scrum with specific examples. With this in your mind, you will be able to model the right team and company culture and lead by example.

Fundamentals of Agile Course (previously known as Success with Agile and Scrum) will give you a practical view of how agility ways of working impact people’s behaviours, management styles, and the way companies do business. This knowledge and understanding is essential to be able to coach others in agility.

You will also be able to immediately apply your learnings in your organization with the help of essential assessment tools available for every lecture. It’s not only about learning something new, it’s about applying it in real life.

In addition, you will get an understanding of how Scrum is connected to Agile creating new opportunities to coach complex subjects to the team members and leadership.

This course is focused on making YOU an expert to enable your prolonged success as an Agile professional.
