IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?
If you are a Manager or Technical Lead and you would like to facilitate retrospectives on agile teams, this is the course for you!
COURSE PREREQUISITES
This Agile Retrospectives workshop assumes that you have some experience of the agile software development lifecycle, so it does not include a general introduction to agile principles and practices. However, the foundation of this training is an introduction to general principles of meeting facilitation that apply to all meetings used in the agile lifecycle so benefits are not restricted to retrospectives.
COURSE LABS & EXERCISES
This Agile Retrospectives workshop will have some presentations interweaved with practical exercises so that all participants have a chance to practice the facilitation techniques as they are explained.
