Agile means many things to many people. For us, Agile is Empiricism i.e. the quest to reduce uncertainty in a systematic and frequent way. Every product team faces uncertainty with regards to their customer needs, the solution, and its implementation incl. how to collaborate as a group.

What you will get in this course:

  • Understand what Agile is all about
  • Get to know Design Thinking, Scrum, and Kanban
  • Make meaningful changes to your work

Taking something complex and making it so simple is genius. I have no PM experience but have management experience so was asked to lead a project. After completing your free fundamentals course I went to the Scrum.org open test and scored 100% in under 5mins! (Its a 30min test)

I then went to my stakeholders and told them to pause the project work until we had a shared understanding of »Product Goal«, »Working Agreements« and »Definition of Done«.
They appreciated the clarity and asked me to be Scrum Master for every internal project we run.
