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..
