Scrum is a popular Agile framework that consists of short iterations called sprints where teams work collaboratively to deliver incremental value. The Agile Foundation Course provides a comprehensive introduction to Agile methodologies, focusing on key principles and practices that drive effective project management and team collaboration. Designed for beginners and professionals alike, this course covers foundational concepts such as Agile frameworks, iterative development, and stakeholder engagement. Kanban focuses on visualizing work flow through a board with columns representing different stages of completion. Lean Startup emphasizes quick experimentation and validation of ideas through minimum viable products (MVPs). XP promotes technical excellence through practices such as pair programming and test-driven development.
At the core of Agile principles is the idea of responding to change over following a plan. This means that instead of sticking rigidly to a set plan or timeline, Agile teams are encouraged to adapt and adjust their approach based on feedback and new information. By embracing change rather than resisting it, Agile teams are able to deliver value more efficiently and effectively.
One of the key things you will learn is the foundational principles and values of Agile methodology. You will gain an understanding of concepts such as iterative development, self-organizing teams, continuous improvement, and customer collaboration. These principles form the basis of Agile project management and are essential for successfully implementing Agile practices in any organization.
