Advanced Agile: The Team’s Mindset is an individual course offered by LinkedIn Learning. This educational opportunity is endorsed by the self-study group initiative at Boston PHP Meetup and is a supplement to our Agile Appetizer offerings.
Course Details
Companies looking to embrace an agile mindset must make several key organizational changes. Guides like The Agile Manifesto and The Scrum Guide provide high-level summaries of the concepts. However, they weren’t designed to give you the in-depth knowledge you need to lead a widespread organizational change. To do that you have to understand the history and reasoning behind key agile ideas.
In Advanced Agile: The Team’s Mindset, you’ll explore the history of agile thinking, and learn how you can be a leading voice for embracing a more agile mindset in your organization. In addition, you will see how visualizing these concepts in a Simple Lean-Agile Mindmap (SLAM) can help guide you and your team though the process of organizing the many ideas that go into team agility. Finally, you’ll learn how scrum, kanban, and extreme programming all work to help your team drive your overall organizational agility.
Whether you’re an agile coach, manager, team member, executive, or product or project manager, Advanced Agile: The Team’s Mindset can help get you and your company into a more agile mindset.
