Agile Foundation for knowledge workers

As a knowledge worker, you are looking for ways to achieve more results faster. In just two days, you will learn the backgrounds, techniques, and tools for a solid foundation for your new working method. After this course, you know how to put all terms into place and how to use different frameworks such as Scrum in a bigger Agile perspective. It also allows you to get started with your own projects. During this course, we use examples and cases that are from outside the IT work field. For governments and companies, we will use separate examples and cases.

 

Agile Foundation is a two-day training that concludes with a certification exam.

Agile working really is a different way of working, with which you achieve completely different results. And the great thing is that you join in on a change that is one of the main subjects of discussion in almost all organizations. How nice would it be if you would know how to apply the agile way of working to marketing and communication issues in a meaningful way and include your (internal) client in that at the same time!
