Agile Appetizer, Season 2
Details
NOTE: Season 2 will be led by Nancy A S, Senior Percolator. This second season of Agile Appetizer will focus on How to Become an Agile Project Manager.
Eight video-based modules ... eight weeks ... summer school.
Why this topic? Because agile is now the most in-demand skill. While agile is not a "technology," it is a methodology used in technology development. Agile is now listed in more job descriptions in the Boston area than any other technical skill.
Knowing how to implement agile-based projects is valuable to your career growth and future job prospects.
Self-Study Group Format
The format of a virtual self-study group is as follows:
NOTE: There is no classroom instruction. There are no webcasts. There are no scheduled appointments of any kind.
• Each participant obtains access to Lynda.com and registers for the Become a Agile Project Manager learning path.
