Agile is often used in software development to more effectively manage issues, like changes in priorities, timelines, and requirements. It's used to accelerate time to market, increase quality, and improve team morale, while reducing cost and risk. But what exactly is it? And why does it work? In this course, you'll learn the basic concepts and principles of Agile. You'll explore the Agile Manifesto, how Agile relates to the concept of kaizen, and how Agile compares with other methodologies. In addition, you'll examine Agile teams, the sprint process, and sprint components. Finally, you'll learn about common reasons Agile projects fail and common pitfalls in Agile adoption. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
