What to
expect
Where most Agile training falls short
Most Agile courses are built for software developers. This one is built for operations managers, marketing leads, and project coordinators who need the same clarity without the engineering jargon.
You will work through real planning scenarios using Scrum boards, Kanban flows, and timeboxing techniques adapted for general business use.
What the course covers
Sessions move from foundational concepts to applied decision-making. You will set up a working sprint cycle, define your team roles, and run a retrospective on a simulated project with real constraints.
Each module includes a short case drawn from industries like retail logistics, professional services, and internal HR operations.
How sessions are structured
Four live workshops of 90 minutes each, held over two weeks. Between sessions, you complete one practical task that feeds directly into the next workshop discussion.
The facilitator, Brigitte Olafsen, has run Agile rollouts at three mid-size companies and keeps the sessions grounded in what actually happens when teams resist change.
Who fits this course
Managers overseeing teams of three to fifteen people will get the most from this. Some prior exposure to project management helps, but no Agile certification is required.
After the second session I restructured our weekly standup and our delivery time dropped noticeably within a month. - Participant, Spring 2024 cohort
