Agile Sprint Planning: In-House Training The goal of the course is to provide you and your team with the ability to develop effective and realistic Sprint plans. Without effective Sprint Plans, iterations are set up for failure. But Sprint Planning cannot be improved on its own, in isolation.

This course will remind you of the theory to reinforce the principles, but will concentrate on next-level skills, so that you and the team are able to create realistic and usable Sprint Plans. This course is not introductory. You are already aware of the Scrum framework and have been implementing Scrum on your projects.

Agile for Non-IT Practitioners - How Agile Project Management is Different and How It Can be Used for Non-IT Projects (On-Demand) As a Project Management Institute (PMI)®Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.), IIL has agreed to abide by PMI®-established quality assurance criteria. In today's world of fast paced technology, continually changing requirements and project scope, the need for Agile Project Management has greatly increased. Responding to this demand, the Project Management Institute (PMI®) launched the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®certification. A result of this certification is the creation of a new space where Project Management and Agile Practices for Software Development meet. The foundation of Agile is the Agile Manifesto for Software Development. Agile has been used for software development for a number of years, even prior to the creation of the Agile Manifesto in 2001. The success of Agile for software development projects has piqued interest in successfully employing Agile in many other fields. How can Agile practices be used for projects which are not software or IT in nature? This course will provide guidance on how Agile can be used beyond software development projects, including how it differs from traditional project management. The course also will provide an overview of the Agile Scrum framework, which is one of the most popular Agile methodologies used. This course provides practical skills, concepts, and principles you can take back to the job and use to implement Agile practices in projects, as applicable. The goal of this course is to acquaint participants with the concepts of agile development methods and the specifics of the Scrum management framework. At the end of this course, participants will understand: Agile Practices - what makes Agile projects 'agile' Scrum and how Scrum applies to the Agile Practices Specific Agile practices which you can use to improve the execution of your projects Practices which can be used in conjunction with Scrum for Non-IT projects Course goal and objectives Importance of Agile development and project management What Agile is and is not Faster, better, cheaper Delivers better fit for purpose Agile versus Waterfall and the big paradigm shift Agile characteristics, behaviors, approaches Agile concerns and pitfalls Introducing Agile Overview of Agile Agile values and principles Overview of Scrum Scrum methodology Scrum terminology Scrum Framework Scrum roles Scrum meetings Sprints Requirements and Product Definition User stories Product backlog Planning Agile Estimating in Scrum Sprint planning session Release planning Agile Practices Agile development Analysis practices Validation practices Other practices Running a Sprint Conducting a Sprint Negotiating changes Tracking progress End of Spring meetings Release planning Closing the project
