Designing Agile Training Courses for Maximum Impact and Results

April 23, 2020

Have you ever put great hope that an Agile Training will finally turn things around, and you are not sure if you are getting what you need out of it? How often does this happen? If the answer is “never” or “rarely”, this webinar might not be for you. If the answer is “more often than I care to remember”, read-on…

In this session, Professional Scrum Trainer Ravi Verma and Jack J. Phillips from the ROI Institute explore how most Agile training courses typically unfold – starting with the pre-sales process to class-delivery and post-class experience. We start by looking at the cast of characters we typically find in these journeys and potential hurdles that can get in the way of your learning and application of that learning after the course. We propose simple, actionable steps you can follow to get the most out of your training courses. Finally, they introduce the underlying principles, framework and practices created by the ROI Institute that provide the foundations for this approach and suggest resources you can use to learn more.
