Description

Agile management represents an outrageous trend and not infrequently a panacea. Rightly so? And if so, why at all? Get your own picture and your entry into the world of Agile perfect with this training.

This training has the following objectives:

1. Prepare you for the exam in such a way that you pass it.
2. To provide you with a framework in which you can practically apply, try out and practice Scrum.

For this reason, the first part of the training with its content, structure, didactics and learning games focuses on passing the certification exam. This way, distracting or irritating elements are eliminated and you are guided to your goal faster and more effectively.

And because the acquired knowledge often seeps away if there is no framework in which the knowledge can be applied and tried out, the second part of the training revolves exclusively around our business game. The game is an abstraction of reality that offers you an environment in which you can try out Scrum and learn what agility means in practice. The perfect setting to take your first steps in practice after the theoretical training of the previous day.

“In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But practically there is.” – Yogi Berra
