Overview
The Sprint Planning for Faster Agile Team Delivery Certificate from EdX in partnership with University System of Maryland - USMx.
Speed is by far the most sought-after benefit of Agile.
First mover advantages, the economic cost of delays, and the enabling effect on innovation drive the search for speed. Agile offers the fastest means of attaining speed: managing scope. But beyond the hype over scope management, there are key principles of non-traditional task management that ensure the scope chosen is delivered as efficiently as possible.
In this course, you’ll learn how to drive speed into any project by selecting and limiting work-in-progress through agile planning and task management.
What you will learn
- Kanban boards to limit work-in-progress (WIP)
- Time boxing activities to eliminate delays and gain schedule advances
- Application and iteration of the Pareto Principle
- Rolling Wave Planning
