Course Description

In this course, participants receive a broad overview of the Agile philosophy. The history of the Agile movement, along with its early influences, is examined. We then survey the methods that comprise “Agile” including Scrum, Extreme Programming, and Kanban. Participants leave with the ability to differentiate between “Agile” and one of the frameworks that fall within the philosophy as well as a high-level understanding of each of the main frameworks being used in the marketplace today. This course is offered through a partnership with agilityIRL.

After taking this class, learners will be able to:

• Differentiate between Agile and other frameworks of the philosophy
• Understand, at a high level, the main framework being used in today’s marketplace

For anyone interested in learning about the Agile philosophy.
