This practical, hands-on, and idea-rich workshop helps you master the skills in applying agile and iterative methods, including Scrum – the most popular agile method worldwide. And it summarizes the key research and concepts. It is suitable for large or small projects, and is aimed at people who need to master the core management practices to succeed with agile methods. This is a high-impact guide to agile and iterative development methods: what they are, how they work, how to implement them – and why you should.

This workshop covers the key concepts of agile methods, and the roles, artifacts, and events of Scrum. You will learn estimation and planning. And how to coach a retrospective. The time involves many hands-on exercises and simulation games aimed at helping you master these skills.

You will leave with the confidence knowing you can do, based on practice, many of the key practices in agile management. And you will be grounded in the core agile values and principles that guide these practices.
