Sometimes customers believe IT teams hide behind Agile approaches to avoid providing and adhering to a delivery schedule. But those customers don't understand the true benefits Agile can provide an organization, including benefits passed on to the customers themselves. Discover Agile and learn how to differentiate between Agile and the waterfall approach. To deepen your understanding of Agile, you will explore two methodologies: Scrum and Kanban. Examine how leadership concepts could facilitate or impair the success of Agile within your organization. Finally, learn how to construct an Agile market analysis to appraise the strengths and weaknesses of your organization, along with the opportunities and threats within the market. Upon completion, you will be able to confidently critique the applicability of Agile, design a leadership environment amenable to the success of Agile, and use Agile approaches to analyze the market.
