Choosing an Agile Method - Agile PM, Scrum and Kanban

Introduction: 
Many people don't realize that different Agile methods are appropriate in different situations. Are you using the best method for your team? This one-day Learning Event gives you the necessary information to make an informed choice to best leverage Agile methods for your team and organization.
Learning Objective(s): 

After successfully participating in this course you will be able to:

  • Describe the similarities and differences between three Agile methods.
  • Evaluate your situation and choose the best Agile method for that situation.

If you have already taken the 2-day OpenAgile Team Member course, this is an excellent follow-up. Combined with that 2-day course, this third day provides enough Agile exposure to ensure that you have the requirements to apply for the PMI-ACP certification.
