The 2-day Professional Agile Leadership Essentials course will equip leaders and managers with the knowledge and skills to help their organizations change by providing an overview of what "Agile" is and how it works, and why organizations need it to survive and thrive in a changing world. Students will also learn how to measure and quantify the benefits of agile from a business perspective, as well as gain an understanding of how to help form and support agile teams using an empirical approach. Additionally, students will be presented with ways to deal with typical challenges that agile teams face and how to support the teams by removing impediments and becoming a servant-leader. This training is a unique mix of theory and practice, optimized for the best learning experience. 

The PAL-E course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. This course uses an interactive, exercise-based approach to help attendees experience the challenges agile leaders face, and learn techniques for overcoming those challenges.
