Course Overview:
The Agile methodology is a collection of principles that value adaptability and flexibility. Agile aims to provide better responsiveness to changing business needs and therefore focuses on enabling teams to deliver in workable increments. It will focus to enhance delivering maximum value against business priorities in the time and budget allowed, especially when the drive to deliver is greater than the risk. Principles include: The project breaks a requirement into smaller pieces, which are then prioritised by the team in terms of importance, while Kanban is a visual system for managing work as it moves through a process. Kanban visualizes both the process (the workflow) and the actual work passing through that process.
