In this powerful two-day course, you'll grasp the concepts, principles, and structure of Agile development and how these are being applied in the unique federal environment.
A common misconception is that Agility means lack of order or discipline, but that's incorrect. It requires strong discipline. You must have a solid foundation of practices and procedures in order to successfully adapt Agile in the Government environment, and you must also learn to follow those practices correctly while tying them to pre-defined, rigid quality goals. This workshop gives you the foundation of knowledge and experience you need in order to be successful on your next federal project.
Define principles and highlight advantages and disadvantages of Agile development and how to map them to federal guidelines for IT procurement, development and delivery. Get firsthand experience organizing and participating in an Agile team. Put the concepts you learn to practice instantly in the classroom project. Understand and learn how to take advantage of the opportunities for Agile, while applying them within current government project process requirements.
Specifically, you will
• Consistently deliver better products that will enable your customer's success
• Reduce the risk of project failure, missed deadlines, scope overrun or exceeded budgets
• Establish, develop, empower, nurture and protect high-performing teams
• Identify and eliminate waste from processes

• Foster collaboration, even with teams that are distributed geographically and organizationally
• Clearly understand how EVM and Agile can be integrated
