Who Is Agile Explained For?

Agile Explained is for everyone in an agile organization or an organization that wants to become more agile.

Breaking down silos and increasing collaboration is one of the key goals of agile and lean processes. 

To do this we encourage "T-shaped" people. That is, people who can operate in multiple specialties or who at least have a basic understanding of the specialties they work with.

Agile Explained is designed to give you the "Top of your T" so that you can collaborate more effectively with all the other roles you work with.

Specifically it is for:

  • Executives and Leaders who must guide an organization towards greater agility
  • Product Managers and Product Owners who will learn how to define and prioritize the work to be done in collaboration with their team
  • Business Analysts who will learn how their role is transformed on an agile team
  • Designers who will work much more closely with product, development, and QA
  • Developers and Software Engineers who will learn the techniques necessary to deliver work in days or weeks instead of weeks or months
  • QA who learn how to operate inside the team while the work is being done instead of outside the team after development is completed
  • Operations who will learn about how DevOps makes them a partner with development instead of just having code thrown at them which they must operate.

Customer Testimonial

Unlock What You Don't Know

by Justin Duane, RetailSource

I thought I know a lot about agile, but from taking the Agile Explained course it really helped unlock that there is a ton that I don't know.

The Human Aspect

by Mike Livermore, Swagelok

Not only does the class teach you in a foundational way, methods, but it really accentuates that which often gets lost in IT departments and technical initiatives... the human aspect of what's going on.

Answer the Big Questions

by Eric Whitnable, Nationwide Insurance

I needed something to help me answer those big questions and that's absolutely what the Agile Explained session did for me.

    The Agile Explained course contains just over 7 hours of video.
