All about Agile – An Overview
Overview
Change is the only constant in this world, where technologies and lifestyles are changing at a rapid pace. We need to be agile, nimble and adaptive to respond to these changes not only in technology space, but pretty much in every walk of life. Understanding about the changes and their impacts, and learning the concepts would help us adapt to the changes. From Scrum to Kanban and Lean, from SAFe and Test Driven Development to DSDM, agile methods come in different forms, shapes, sizes and attributes. To learn about the agile methods and get an introduction to agile’s relevance to business, technology and work at large, enrol in TEXAVI’s All about Agile – An Overview course now!
