Agile Training

Agenda

inovex training courses are not simply marathon slideshows. Instead, the participants work on almost all the course content independently in small groups, on the basis of literature or handouts provided.

Our Agile training is divided into 4 modules. The exact design of the modules can vary depending on the group of participants, depending on which principles, tools or techniques are to be particularly addressed.

A proposed agenda might look like this:

Module 1:

Content:

• Practical introduction to iterative work
• The agile mindset: “Doing agile” versus “Being agile”
• Scrum basics

Learning objective: Participants learn the agile values and principles and understand their application in the field of software development. They also know the basics of Scrum and understand the relationship between agile values and principles and Scrum.

Module 2:

Content:

• Scrum roles
• Scrum events and artifacts
• Effective organization of Scrum events (Sprint Planning/Review/Retrospective and Daily Scrum) in a remote setup
• Simulation of a Scrum project

Learning objective: Participants learn the roles, artifacts, and events in Scrum. They also experience how it feels to work together as a team on a project using Scrum and learn the methods and tools with which Scrum events can be run effectively.

Module 3:

Content:

• Domain complexity: the Cynefin framework and the Stacey matrix
• Introduction to Kanban
• Introduction to user stories and agile estimating

Learning objective: Participants learn the basics of the Kanban method and understand which (agile) development methods are most suitable in which situations. In addition, the participants become familiar with the basics of working with user stories, a method for agile requirements management, and the associated tools, such as planning poker.

Module 4:

Content:

• Holding a Lean Coffee for the collection, prioritisation, and processing of more in-depth topics

Learning objective: Participants deepen their knowledge of the contents of Modules 1-3 and develop potential ways to apply them to their current situations. They are also introduced to one of the most effective methods for moderating meetings – the Lean Coffee.
