Overview
0.5 days
This practical, information-packed executive seminar summarizes the key research, business case, ideas, values and practices of agile and iterative methods, aimed at senior leadership. This is a high-impact guide for executives to agile and iterative methods: what they are, how they work, how to implement them – and why you should.

Larman offers a concise, dense summary of the key ideas that drive all agile methods, with a focus on the most popular agile method: Scrum. Where, appropriate, there will also be an emphasis on scaling agile methods to large (for example, a 500 person product) systems involving multi-site development, and on large enterprise agile transformations – as these are his specialties.
