Agile and Scrum Awareness

The Agile and Scrum Awareness course from Oakwood is designed to provide individuals and teams with a strong understanding of Agile principles and the Scrum framework. This course introduces the concepts of iterative development, flexibility, and collaboration, helping participants recognise how these methodologies can transform project management and delivery.

This course is ideal for anyone new to Agile and Scrum or professionals looking to refresh their knowledge. Learners will gain an understanding of how Agile promotes collaboration, adaptive planning, and delivery of high-quality work, and how Scrum facilitates these principles in practice.

Over the course of this 1-day training, delegates will explore key elements of Agile, including the Agile Manifesto, values, and principles, as well as the structure and roles within Scrum. They will also discover how Scrum teams plan, execute, and review their work in short, iterative cycles. By the end of the training, participants will be able to assess how these methodologies can be applied to improve project management and team performance within their organisation.
