Take your First Steps with Agile
Have you ever wondered what people mean when they talk about ‘Agile’ and how to apply Agile practices and processes? What if you could spend time with an Agile guru to get the answers first-hand?
The Agile Academy is proud to be running a half day workshop: First steps with Agile on the 14th June 2011 at the Sydney Hilton as part of the pre-conference program of Agile Australia 2011.
The Workshop
The workshop is an interactive session and is being led by Agile Academy Coaches, Craig Smith and Tony Ponton. In the workshop, you’ll become familiar with the core values and principles of Agile. You’ll learn what we mean when we use the term 'Agile' and the key practices and processes it uses.
Spaces are limited, so we recommend you sign up early so you don't miss out on spending a half day in a hands-on, interactive learning environment with two very experienced Agilists. For more information and to register please visit: http://www.agileaustralia.com.au.
