Introduction to Agile Methods – One Day Course

Are you involved in the specification, purchase, project management or delivery of an IT or web-based project? If so, you need to know about Agile methods.

Agile methods, are a group of new techniques which make it easier to deliver IT and web-based projects in environments of uncertainty and constant change. Did you ever try to plan a project but things didn't go quite as you expected? Agile methods are designed to deal with that kind of experience. They emphasise the delivery of projects in short iterations: the end of each iteration, priorities can be re-ordered or new ones can be added making sure that you are always delivering to the client the things that they value most.

This introductory course will give you an immediate feel for the difference that working using Agile techniques can have for the IT projects that you work on.

* Provide the most value in the work that you do for you client.
* Plan your work in short iterations.
