Agile Team Training
Lean, Scrum, Kanban, DevOps fundamentals
Teams that train together grow together. Agile team training emphasizes practical learning and brings your team together to begin their journey towards higher performance.
This workshop considers your team’s unique context to customize the learning experience. From teams that are experiencing Agile for the first time to experienced Agile teams who want to accelerate to the next level, this workshop is based on years of industry experience launching Scrum and Kanban teams.
Agile Team Coaching
Learn, improve, grow
Training alone is not sufficient to put Agile values and principles into practice. Many teams do not get to experience what good looks like. As a result, they struggle to apply theoretical learning to their projects.
First, we lead by example so you can learn how to apply Agile concepts in your day-to-day work. Then we coach and mentor you to take ownership of your team practices so you can confidently grow your ability to self-manage.
