Agile Key Philosophy and Principles

Want to implement Agile effectively in your organization?

One of the biggest reasons we fail when implementing Agile is when we simply try to apply the practices of Agile methodologies without a sufficient understanding of the fundamental philosophy and principles underlying them. This course explains the theoretical background and principles of Agile methodologies in an easy-to-understand manner, not only from a software development perspective but also from a business perspective. Note that Agile principles are rarely covered in lectures on Agile methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe. Consequently, team members often struggle to embrace Agile.
