Adventures in Project Management

Teach and practise the basics of agile in a day long interactive classroom course​

​

Aim of course  A one day course for non-PM trained staff (either in PM or non-PM roles).  Teach practical tools that can be used immediately, introduce concepts, raise awareness & understanding.  Delegates will leave with confidence to work with & alongside agile projects and use simple agile techniques in their current work (whatever their role).

​

Caution  This is not about teaching any formal approach (ie Scaled Agile Framework) or training people to be project managers / scrum leads.

​

Structure of course  Using the Scrumples! agile board game, teacher gets the delegates using Kanban approach from the start.  Keeping to plain English, a class project will be worked on throughout the day, using large group worksheets.  Delegates will learn how to run a Kanban / sprint board, practice story point estimation, running retrospectives, sprint planning and will explore the Product Owner role.  There are NO slides.

​

Customisation  The classroom example can be exchanged for a scenario relevant to the team in the room if you think the same learning points will be covered.  This is a good way to bond a newly formed team and to 'crash-plan' a new project.
