Grow faster, grow Agile
Every project or company starts with an idea that needs to be developed as quickly as possible to address a given problem. This programme aims to stimulate a creative work environment and effective production routines for teams operating in dynamic environments, whilst keeping in mind customer’s requirements.
Procedures must neither obfuscate clarity of objectives at each stage of development nor lead to exceeding deadlines and costs. Behavioural, organisational and planning issues are at stake here. Everything must be carried out in a comprehensive approach to achieve the desired result.
In an Agile context, changes may happen until the last sprint. But this cannot be used to justify a toxic and chaotic environment, where employees are victims of lack of planning and bad leadership. This ends up creating burnout situations, low productivity and increased human and material costs of the whole development process.
Agile development has several pitfalls that should be avoided. The first of these is due to the fact that, as the planning is always open to future adjustments, effort on the quality of initial specifications may be diminished. But there are more: some we will address in this training are, among others:

? Senior managers who want to strengthen their leadership in terms of innovation and increase their ability to implement more adjusted to customers products and services in their organisations.
? Team leaders and managers who want to develop and integrate cutting-edge creative practices into their business processes and culture.
The course contains two approches: behavioural and managerial. The training is given online, in small groups so that there can be a better integration of each trainee and to provide a more personalized interaction with participants. Several support materials will be provided.
