Agile for digital delivery teams

3 days | In-person | £3150 (ex VAT)

  • In this session we explore the objectives of digital delivery that require specialists to work together as a team. We look at the challenges and set the scene for the ways in which they are addressed by highlighting the importance of reflecting to improve.

  • Successful delivery of digital products and services require a team with a common culture aligned to the values and principles of the agile manifesto. We look at how individuals form teams, and explain how to create agile digital delivery teams.

  • Scrum provides a framework for software development and digital delivery that aligns with agile values and is useful for teams that are new to agile. We provide an overview of scrum, examine the nature of iteration, incremental development and a typical agile lifecycle.

  • Digital delivery teams need to ensure that they are delivering value to users, so we provide an introduction to User Centred Design to help understand how we identify and verify users needs to ensure that the whole team is aligned and delivers value to users.

  • Our lesson on learn helps teams to understand how to prioritise all of their work by focusing on reducing waste.

  • We take a look at the work of the team and how the team manage their work. This covers backlogs, backlog refinement, work items including user stories, planning and forecasting.

  • As a group of people become a team they start to develop their own team working culture. We take a look at agile culture and the behaviours that help create, influence and reinforce it. We look at what motivates us to make sure that we're developing the right product or service and developing it in the right way.

Our Digital Delivery Teams course provides a practical guide to how to work together effectively to deliver value to users by working in an agile way.

Delegates will learn what it means to be agile and how to put into practice some of the most useful methods, tools and techniques that will help them to work in an agile way.

The course is designed to promote and encourage team working, and highlights the significant improvements that can be gained when the team focus not only on the delivery of the product or service but also on how they work together as a team.

We offer our standard public agile for digital delivery teams course, as a 3 day, in-person 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?

Our Digital Delivery Teams course is ideal for individuals who work as part of a digital delivery team and is especially suited to full digital delivery teams that are working on delivering digital services.

It's suitable for new or existing teams - in fact we find that teams that attend this course deliver value very quickly and efficiently because the whole team shares the same learning experience, so they have a common understanding of their respective roles and how they all need to work together as a team.

Why should I attend?

A big part of being agile is understanding what value means and a focus on delivering as much value as possible.  After years of working with and as part of agile teams and delivering agile training to thousands of delegates, we've put together this course that we believe provides the most important things that agile teams need to know about and the tools and techniques that are most useful.

It will help individuals understand their role within a digital delivery team.  It will help digital delivery teams gain a real insight into how they need to work together as a team to deliver real value to users of their service, while working efficiently, continuously improving their ways of working and increasing value to users.
