Engineering Agility

Apply An Agile-Mindset To Your Engineering

Understanding the mindset behind Agile will provide you an in-demand skill virtually all organizations are seeking.  In this class you will learn principles, values, and practices to become more productive the next day – no matter what industry you are in.  To reinforce what you will be taught, we have workshops and demonstrations that you can easily introduce to others in your team(s).

Beyond theory, we will also provide real-world practices and techniques to make you, your teams, and your organization more effective. You will learn all you need to attain engineering agility across your entire organization to keep pace with such an unpredictable and fast moving world.

We offer this training as either a 2-day or 3-day course with the differences listed below.

Better Certifications For Less

Our Business Agility certification course covers everything an organization needs to take an idea to market and support it.  The vast number of workshops provides real-world examples of approaches, practices, and techniques to re-enforce theory and demonstrate how values and principles are the key to cultural change.  While other certifications require students to memorize terms and definitions to pass a test, ours requires something far more important; demonstrate the ability to work with a diverse group of people to actually build something.

Financially, our courses typically cost less per day then those who may consider themselves a competitor.  Individuals who wish to maintain their certifications will also notice that ours are far less expensive than the so-called competitors too

Who Will Benefit

This course is beneficial to anyone or any organization who recognizes the need to do more with less.  This offering is ideally suited for those in roles like:

  • C-Level, Executives, VPs, and Directors
  • Portfolio, Program, and Project Managers
  • Product and Product Line Management
  • Enterprise, System, and Solution Architects
  • Business / Systems Analysts

Learning Objectives / Training Topics

Below are the Learning Objectives (LO) and topics of discussion for day 1 and 2.  While it may appear the latter two days have less LO’s, the workshops are designed to reinforce them so they are not forgotten after the class concludes.  It has been our observation over the years, that without reinforcement with workshops / practical experience the theory is quickly forgotten and teams revert back to their old ways.

The first day establishes intent and concepts for any organization wishing to become Agile.  Individuals who attend the 2nd day will combine what they learned and experienced on the first day with workshops to start taking a product from ideation to planning while considering potential aspects of a company (sales, finance, support, human resources, legal, etc.).  Attendees of the 3-day course will be rewarded with additional theory and many more workshops to further demonstrate how the benefits of Agile can be realized in any business situation.
