NEW! Disciplined Agile Foundations: Approaches for Team Agility with Joshua Barnes

Topics: Agile | Organizational Value | Leading Project Teams

What You Will Learn

Through real-world case studies derived from real teams that successfully transitioned to hybrid agile approaches, and practical application, you will learn how to:

Master the "DA Value Acceleration" process: A simple, actionable, 3-step approach for using DA to directly address the issues your teams are facing in achieving better outcomes. We'll teach you exactly how to put this process into action across and within teams.
Utilize "Quick Starts": Benefit from predefined starting points for customizing individual team's ways of working. These "Quick Starts" eliminate the need to build processes from scratch, accelerating each team's journey to improved agility.
Leverage DA's decision framework: Identify and address common team-level challenges across your organization.

Description
