Agile fundamentals for digital delivery

1 day | In-person or remote | from £200 (ex VAT)

  • In this session we explore why working in a way is key to the successful delivery of valuable products and services. We explain how we can work in effective teams and organisations that align with the agile values and principles.

  • Scrum is used widely to help us work in an agile way. It provides a development framework that is a good starting point to understand how to develop digital services.

  • The theory is all well and good, but nothing consolidates learning better than having a go. This session sees the cohort role up their sleeves and start being agile.

  • Knowing what to work on seems obvious but it can be difficult in ensuring that what we work on is going to deiver value. UCD helps us do just that.

  • Scrum is used widely to help us work in an agile way. It provides a development framework that is a good starting point to understand how to develop digital services. Following the practical session on putting scrum into practice, we reflect on the activity, focusing on the effect that scrums iterative approach has on development and the opportunities it presents.

  • Despite comprising just 4 values and 12 principles, working in a way that aligns with them isn't always as easy as first it seems. Being agile is about really understanding the intent of the values and the principles - this session digs deep to provide that understanding and why being agile helps us work efficiently and deliver value.

  • Successful agile teams operate in a working culture that aligns with the agile values and principles. We outline the factors that help nurture an agile aligned culture that optimises the effectiveness of agile teams.

Our agile fundamentals for digital delivery course provides an understanding of how people need to work together to build digital product and services with a hands-on approach into how agile works. 

It provides provide a concise and robust understanding of the intent of the agile values and principles, it examines why traditional approaches for delivering products and services often fail to deliver value to users and organisations, and why taking an agile approach typically delivers better results, especially for digital product and services.

Being agile is about changing the way we approach solving problems, complex or otherwise.  It's not about applying a framework method or technique, but rather a change of mindset that aligns with agile values and principles. 

We offer our standard public agile fundamentals for digital delivery course, as a 1 day, in-person or fully remote (online) course.

We can also run this course privately for your organisation.  It requires a minimum of 6 delegates, with a maximum of 12.

Who's it for?

Agile fundamentals for digital delivery course, is suitable for anyone who needs to be part of or engage with a digital delivery team.

It's for anyone new to agile, anyone who needs to understand what being agile is about.  It's for individuals, teams and leaders.  

It's even suitable (or perhaps most especially important) for anyone who has learned an agile framework or method but is struggling to make it work.

This is not a technical software development course, but rather a course that will help you understand the most efficient way to develop digital services that deliver real value to users.

Why should I attend?

Unlike most other basic agile training that tries to tell people how to be agile, we engage with our delegates by challenging the way they currently work and think, explaining what it means to be agile so that they can decide for themselves what they need to do to be agile.  We show them examples of how they can be agile through the use of appropriate tools and techniques.

This course covers the bare bones of agility - the intent of the manifesto.  We help you think differently with an agile mindset to solve problems, work better with others, understand what value means and where to spend your energy.  

It covers the things that everyone should know about agile.

Our remote (online) course covers the same topics as our face-to-face course.  We have adapted some of the activities so that we can deliver them remotely, but they are not identical.

Our online course has shorter lessons and activities.  Our adapted online face-to-face activities are slightly more directed than when we run them face-to-face.  We've also found that online learning tends to feel much more intensive so we build in more, but shorter breakout slots.
