ICAgile Certified Professional – Agile Fundamentals (ICP)

Course Overview

Agile Fundamentals is a non-dogmatic course that immerses students into an agile mindset. “Being agile” is the foundation for the team and organizational success in “doing agile”. Students will learn and experience the values, principles, and foundational concepts, and achieve a solid step on their agile journey. Students will be able to apply the learnings to their work environment, and any future training in agile practices and techniques. The collaborative learning environment offers opportunities to learn from interactions with co-attendees, apply newly learned perspectives, and hear first-hand examples of agile enablement from instructors. All that while having a lot of fun!
