Agile methods have changed how the software industry creates applications. New best practices have emerged to embrace a faster team-based approach to challenges inherent in software delivery. Every aspect of application development - requirements, estimation, development, test, and deployment - benefits from new ideas and techniques.

This training will help in understanding how to lead software projects and move teams onto agile methods for greater productivity and higher quality applications. It will define the domain and terminology, methods for managing the effort, and how roles have changed across teams in the agile world.

For the already agile, here's the User Story for the training: "As a leader or team member in the enterprise software development process, I want to leverage a small number of key techniques and principles to dramatically and measurably improve my development practices so that my organization can deliver more customer value, at faster intervals, to my customers."
