How to initiate and plan agile projects?
Agile methodologies are increasingly essential in today’s projects. In the world of agile there are multiple frameworks, but when working with teams, usually the same question emerges: How can we put this into practice?
Based on the remarkably good client feedback, we started to run our project simulation as an open program for product owners and project managers. Our goal is to provide our clients with a customized toolbox developed through personal experience which helps them to find their own answers to this question.
If you are a product owner, agile project manager or a team working in an agile environment our program is meant for you! We will help you plan, prepare and execute your business projects and provide you with the solutions needed on your journey.

Prerequisites and framework
Although during the program we go through the basics of agile, it is certainly an advantage if you are already familiar with the approach and its main concepts.
On demand we support teams to successfully prepare for the Professional Scrum Product Owner I. (PSPO I.) exam provided by scrum.org.
We designed our 2-day program to be efficient and easily applicable. During the course we simulate the whole lifespan of the project from vision to delivery. It is an intensive learning experience consisting of 80% practice and 20% theory for 4-10 participants.
During the program we give special attention to the steps and techniques prior to sprints and iterations, since a lot of agile projects fail because of inappropriate preparation.
The program can be held with a simulated project chosen by the client.
