This intermediate-level course is designed to help Agile practitioners recognise and resolve many of the common issues that emerge when Agile concepts are introduced into Waterfall organisations. The course begins with 24 video segments from seasoned Agile trainers and practitioners who provide tips and best practices for addressing integration obstacles.
The course then presents 20 short case studies that simulate the communication and interchanges that can occur as Agile and Waterfall practitioners work to resolve differences in the ways that they see and execute tasks. As students evaluate these case studies, they'll learn to deconstruct and diagnose any underlying problems that need to be resolved, just as they would in everyday practice.
While they work to decode and correct these issues, they'll begin to recognise the common pitfalls that can happen as project teams collaborate and interact.
