Agile PM Course

Lesson 1 • Agile Mindset and Culture

Defines the behavioural and cognitive shifts required for Agile adoption. Connects individual mindset to team and organisational performance.

Lesson 2 • Agile Values vs. Traditional PM

Contrasts Agile and plan-driven approaches across scope, risk, and delivery. Learners identify which context favours each approach.

Lesson 3 • Agile Frameworks Landscape Overview

Maps major frameworks—Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS—without deep-diving. Prepares learners to choose the right framework for context.

Lesson 1 • Scrum Metrics and Health Checks

Introduces velocity, burndown, and team health indicators. Equips learners to diagnose Scrum team performance objectively.

Lesson 2 • Running Your First Sprint

Applies Scrum theory to a simulated Sprint cycle end-to-end. Bridges conceptual knowledge to hands-on execution readiness.

Lesson 3 • Scrum Roles and Accountabilities

Defines Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers with clear accountability boundaries. Prevents role confusion that derails teams.

Lesson 4 • Scrum Events and Timeboxes

Covers Sprint, Planning, Daily Scrum, Review, and Retrospective with purpose and timebox rules. Links each event to inspect-and-adapt cycles.

Lesson 1 • Kanban Core Principles

Covers the six Kanban practices and change management philosophy. Establishes why Kanban suits evolutionary, non-disruptive improvement.

Lesson 2 • Designing a Kanban Board

Guides learners through mapping workflow states and defining columns. Directly enables teams to build boards that reflect real work.

Lesson 3 • Kanban Cadences and Continuous Improvement

Covers replenishment, delivery, and retrospective cadences. Shows how regular feedback loops sustain long-term flow improvement.

Lesson 4 • Flow Metrics and Forecasting

Introduces cycle time, throughput, and cumulative flow diagrams. Enables data-driven delivery forecasting without estimation theatre.

Lesson 1 • Agile Planning Horizons

Distinguishes release, iteration, and daily planning levels. Aligns planning granularity to uncertainty at each horizon.

Lesson 2 • Roadmapping and Release Planning

Guides creation of outcome-based roadmaps and release forecasts. Connects backlog priorities to business milestones and stakeholder commitments.

Lesson 3 • Re-planning and Adaptive Forecasting

Addresses how to update plans when scope, velocity, or priorities shift. Builds confidence in managing change without losing stakeholder trust.

Lesson 4 • User Stories and Acceptance Criteria

Teaches story writing with the INVEST criteria and Given-When-Then format. Produces backlog items that are testable and independently deliverable.

Lesson 1 • Prioritisation Frameworks

Applies MoSCoW, WSJF, and Kano model to rank backlog items. Enables objective, value-driven sequencing beyond gut feel.

Lesson 2 • Backlog Structure and Hierarchy

Defines epics, features, stories, and tasks in a coherent hierarchy. Prevents backlog chaos by establishing clear decomposition rules.

Lesson 3 • Backlog Refinement Practices

Structures effective refinement sessions for clarity and readiness. Ensures Sprint Planning starts with well-understood, sized items.

Lesson 4 • Stakeholder Input and Backlog Governance

Establishes processes for collecting, filtering, and governing stakeholder requests. Protects team focus while maintaining stakeholder engagement.

Lesson 1 • Team Formation and Norming

Applies Tuckman's stages to Agile team development. Equips leaders to accelerate teams through forming to performing.

Lesson 2 • Conflict Resolution in Agile Teams

Provides frameworks for surfacing and resolving team conflicts constructively. Prevents dysfunction from derailing Sprint delivery.

Lesson 3 • Self-Organising Team Principles

Defines self-organisation, cross-functionality, and team autonomy boundaries. Establishes the conditions that enable teams to manage their own work.

Lesson 4 • Facilitation Skills for Agile Events

Teaches facilitation techniques for retrospectives, planning, and reviews. Directly improves meeting quality and team engagement.

Lesson 1 • Stakeholder Identification and Mapping

Applies power-interest grids and persona mapping to stakeholder analysis. Builds a targeted engagement strategy for each stakeholder group.

Lesson 2 • Managing Scope and Expectation Changes

Provides techniques for handling scope creep and shifting priorities diplomatically. Maintains delivery momentum while honouring stakeholder needs.

Lesson 3 • Defining and Measuring Value

Introduces OKRs, KPIs, and outcome metrics tied to business goals. Shifts focus from feature delivery to measurable value creation.

Lesson 4 • Communicating Agile Progress

Designs information radiators and status reports for non-technical stakeholders. Replaces status meetings with transparent, pull-based communication.

Lesson 1 • Agile Transformation Change Management

Uses Kotter and ADKAR models to plan and sustain Agile transformation. Addresses resistance, culture, and leadership alignment systematically.

Lesson 2 • When and Why to Scale Agile

Identifies triggers and readiness criteria for scaling beyond a single team. Prevents premature scaling that destroys team-level Agile gains.

Lesson 3 • Scaling Frameworks Compared

Evaluates SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, and Scrum@Scale against organisational contexts. Enables informed framework selection rather than trend-following.

Lesson 4 • Measuring Organisational Agility

Defines maturity models and business agility metrics beyond team velocity. Provides executives with meaningful transformation progress indicators.
