Is Agile Right for Your Business?

If you’re not sure whether an Agile approach is right for your business, this introductory workshop can be a really effective way to test the waters.

What is Agile?

Agile is a flexible, value-driven approach to managing projects. It originated in the software industry in the early 2000s.

Since then, it has exploded in popularity. Today, Agile is used in almost every sector of business.

It’s ideally suited to projects that have difficult-to-define criteria, or indeed criteria that are likely to change.

Agile promotes continuous communication, collaboration, and improvement in project teams. This can be transformational for a business in terms of morale and productivity.

You can read a more about agile’s origins in Professional Development’s article, “What is Agile Project Management?”.

Agile for Individuals

We also offer a number of online self-led and live virtual courses for those interested in Agile training and certification.

Our courses include Agile Master Certified (SAMC^TM) and a number of Scrum certifications.
