Training details

Description

Agile approaches are popular these days. Most of us have an idea of what they entail, and if you haven't yet, there are plenty of books and online resources that can shed some light on this. Having a basic understanding of agility is therefore achievable and easily accessible. However, fully understanding how agile methods can be applied to improve your work environment, optimize teamwork and adapt your organization's operating methods is a much more complex and sometimes risky undertaking. This training will help you move from theory to practice, bringing concepts to life and putting them into action. It will allow you to understand in depth the true nature of agile approaches, by integrating them into your concrete actions. It will guide you towards a more precise understanding of their essence and, more importantly, what they have the capacity to bring to you, taking into account your specific style and context.
