Business Enterprise Software is a professional area of practice that assists enterprises in designing solutions to achieve their current and future business objectives. While enterprise software has most often been applied to complex technology environments with high technology investments, the practice is relevant for all types and sizes of enterprises. All enterprises have business goals and objectives, and all have resources that must be aligned with those goals in an effective and efficient way. Enterprise software is a critical first step in achieving those goals. One of the most important lessons from enterprise software is the importance of design and engineering before implementation.  Business Enterprise Software is a critical area today given the increasing complexity of our environment and the need for greater agility. The virtualization of work, the multinational nature of work, the increasingly semantic and personalized nature of applications, the richness of technology, the increasingly networked nature of the business, a shift from simple projects to complex projects — all speak to the need for Business Enterprise Software.

Agile is not what you do, Agile is what you become! An introduction to the essentials of Agile Scrum as a delivery method. The same learning objectives as used in central government & public sector digital delivery projects. Agile is not what you do, Agile is what you become! Since 2012, all government departments have been required to use the Agile approach to project management, to build and run new digital services. As you begin your Agile journey, one of your first challenges will be understanding the rules and roles that support Agile delivery, some of the most frequently asked questions are "Which Agile framework is applicable to our business operating model?" or, "Is the Project Manager role equivalent to that of theProduct Owner?" and, "What does a Scrum Master do?" A strong corporate culture not accustomed to the Agile mindset can also be a difficult environment in which to implement Agile methods. In some cases, the company’s culture and practices may reward non-Agile milestones while inadvertently discouraging Agile success. This intensive two-day training course combines PowerPoint presentations, informal discussions and practical exercises to introduce you to Agile Scrum as a Delivery Method, without the impending pressure of having to pass a formal certification examination. Previous experience of Agile delivery is not a pre-requisite to attending this course, although it is assumed delegates have previously attended the Primer course, or have some understanding of Agile Scrum terms and practices.
