HOW TO PREPARE AND PLAN AGILE PROJECTS?
The use of agile methodologies is now inevitable in more and more projects. There are several theoretical methods for applying them, but in most cases teams in a market environment ask the question: okay, but how can this be done in practice?
Thanks to its huge success, we have launched our proprietary project simulation in an open source format to give more product owners and project managers a detailed, experience-based process and toolkit to answer this question.
The programme is recommended for Product Owners, Agile Project Managers, and teams, who want to plan and prepare business projects in an agile environment and according to a clear process and want to learn the tools to do so.

Prerequisites and Frameworks
Although we will cover the basics of agile during the programme, it is still an advantage if participants have already encountered the basic concepts and mindset of agile and are familiar with its elements.
If required, we will help you to obtain the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Product Owner I. (PSPO I.) certification within a 4-hour session after the training. The 4-hour additional module includes an 80-question exam simulation and its joint evaluation.
Our 2-day programme is designed to be straightforward, focused on the essentials and practice, simulating the tasks from the creation of a project idea, a "project dream", to its delivery.The programme is very intensive, with about 20% of theory and 80% of practical elements, so the number of groups is set at 4-12.
During the programme, we will pay great attention to the steps and techniques that precede sprints and iterations, as in many cases agile projects fail due to inadequate preparation. The programme can also be implemented in an outsourced form, in which case we simulate a sample project proposed by the client.

The PSPO I qualification is ideal for those starting out in their career, career changers and those working in the industry.
