As a Project Manager, Business Analyst, or Team Member, do you want to learn more about Agile, but don’t yet have much hands-on experience?

We invite you to join us for a packed full-on Workshop #2 where you will gain hands-on experience building a product as a member of an Agile Team, as well as leading and participating in Agile ceremonies.

This is a standalone workshop for practitioners at all levels. You are welcome to join even if you missed Workshop #1.

If you do not have formal Agile training, do not worry, we will cover the relevant basics. If you do have formal Agile training, this workshop will help you put into practice what you learnt and know already.

We invite all of the following participants to attend this workshop and experience the learning by practicing Agile:

• Project Managers and Team Members interested in Agile but with little hands-on experience;
• Anyone interested in Agile ways of working and would like hands-on experience;
• Agile Practitioners who would like to participate in a collaborative workshop and share their knowledge and experience.
