| Course Abstract: |
Too often teams will send one or two individuals to be trained, expecting them to return and impact team performance. That expectation could be compared to a sports team sending one or two individuals to practice, expecting them to communicate appropriately to the team how to win during the upcoming game. The Agile Bootcamp is designed to be that opportunity for the team to practice together. All aspects of planning, from vision down to daily planning are outlined. Prioritization and estimating techniques are taught, practiced and understood by the team together. The entire team shares in learning the importance and best methods of communication, cadence and transparency. By engaging in this practice and learning together, the team is prepared to execute together and achieve success much more quickly. |
