What you will learn

Learn Agile practices and behaviour for managers in the daily stand up and sprint retrospective ceremonies

The importance of respecting the safe environment required by Agile teams to be successful

How the daily stand up and retrospective meetings work and why they are critical to Agile team success

Your personal transformation from traditional manager to agile leader as part of an Agile journey in your organisation

How you should avoid performance managing team members through what they share in a daily stand up

How you should avoid "taking notes" in a daily stand up so that you can use it against people later on

How you should actively solicit feedback about your own behaviour and contribution in a retrospective

Key principles and concepts of Agile like scrum, ceremony, continuous learning, Agile principles and values

The short cycles of Agile and how product development is iterative and continuous rather than phased

Why take this course?

Is your organisation on an Agile journey or are you involved with teams that are using Agile ways of working? If you want to improve your leadership and contribution to the workplace then this course will help you achieve your goals. Learn two of the most important Agile "ceremonies" and the role you must play in each of them to ensure your team is successful.

Agile ceremonies bring team members together for specific reasons and your supportive involvement is vital. Many managers make the mistake of thinking that the daily stand up meeting and sprint retrospective are opportunities to performance manage team members and get information to help find blame when things go wrong. This mindset is catastrophic for your team environment and will destroy trust and hamper your team's productivity.

If you've been grappling with your own personal transformation as part of your organisation's Agile journey then this course is for you. Learn how to demonstrate servant leadership behaviours that align with Agile and position you as a vital leader on the Agile journey in your environment. You will learn basic Agile concepts as well as how the daily stand up and retrospective ceremonies work in order to keep teams progressing and delivering successfully.

You will learn all this and more in this course which is engaging, practical and takes you on a powerful journey that supports your individual transformation as a manager..

I was looking for a course that focused on improving standup meetings. Although this course covered the topic, much of the time was focused on teaching general agile principles. I would have preferred those topics to be a separate course and for this course to get more in depth into the ceremonies.

I am glad I can learn about retrospectives and the ability to "learn from experience" and adapt as we develop new skills in a project
