Agile for delivering government services

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

Our agile for government course provides an understanding of what it means to be agile in a public sector setting with the constraints, regulations and challenges that come with it.

The types of services and products that Government deliver have significant impacts on people's lives or are services that people are heavily dependant on, so it's important that services are built that meet user needs and are delivered with an understanding of the challenges that those user groups face when interacting with Government.

Government services follow a lifecycle and need to meet specific standards and so it's important that the people delivering services and products in Government understand this and have the ability to build services and products that meet these criteria, and deliver products that can stand up to the level of scrutiny required in public service.

Who's it for?

Our agile for government course is suitable for anyone who is engaged in delivering digital services for the UK Government or the wider public sector in general.  It's designed to meet the needs of civil servants, suppliers or contractors involved with the delivery of digital services.

Why should I attend?

This course is specifically designed for individuals and teams engaged with delivering public sector digital services.

The course can be used by those already knowledgeable, skilled and practiced with agile ways of working as a familiarisation to how government utilises agile ways of working.   It can also be used to supplement any of our other agile training courses with an explanation of how government utilises agile ways of working.

The Joule Digital coaches that designed and deliver this course are the same coaches that  worked for the GDS Academy designing and delivering the agile courses delivered to thousands of civil servants.  So who better to learn from about delivering digital services for government than the very people that train government civil servants to deliver government digital services.


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.

We offer a limited number of early bird tickets for our in-person and remote courses when purchased at least one month prior to scheduled course. These are discounted by 30% off the full price.

We offer our standard public Agile for delivering government services course, as a 1 day, in-person or fully remote (online) course.

Our face-to-face course is normally run in Sheffield or London, but we do sometimes run our course in other locations if it suits all of the course delegates - just let us know your preference.

Running the course face-to-face allows us to demonstrate many of the topics we cover using a variety of activities, workshops and games.
