Course Overview

This intermediate-level course is designed to help practitioners decipher and solve problems that regularly arise in their work. 


The course begins with 16 video segments from seasoned Agile trainers and practitioners who provide tips and best practices for addressing Agile team challenges.


Students will review 20 short case studies that test understanding of Agile team training practices and provide guidance for resolving common problems. The case studies simulate the conversations and interactions that happen regularly on Agile projects. Analyzing these cases as narratives help students learn to deconstruct issues and diagnose the underlying issues that need correction, just as they would in their everyday work. As students decode these challenges and plan appropriate responses, they gain the experience they need to guide their teams and stay on track to deliver value to their customers.


Course Format

This self-paced course offers a dynamic and engaging learning experience, combining interactive elements such as games, flashcards, video content, real-world case studies, and curated readings. Participants have the flexibility to progress at their own pace, while interactive games and quizzes reinforce key concepts and track progress. Flashcards, expert-led videos, real-world case studies, and carefully curated readings deepen knowledge.

This course is part of the Agile Project Management program.
