Agile Training
Portfolio
Why agile? The question can also be: Why learn fast? Why adapt to new experiences and learnings quickly and easily? Well, the Dodo was not very agile… and we all know how that ended. Neither was Kodak, Borders books etc. etc. No one HAS to care about agile, but that is no great matter since they will be remnants of the past in short order, replaced by those that are indeed agile.
The need to survive and thrive in an increasingly complex and changing world drives the need for organi-sational agility.
That’s why agile matters!
With 80 years of combined experience and 7000+ delegates trained, choose EOH Kaizania Academies to guide you in understanding and exploiting the agile and lean fundamentals, principles and frameworks needed to survive and thrive in this constantly changing world.

About the course:
The traditional requirements management process used in waterfall development is wholly inappropriate for Agile development. Waterfall methods focusing on extensive upfront requirement documents and rigid change control processes established to effect change in these documents often lead to projects failing, since adapting to new learning is made difficult, resulting in the customer not being satisfied at all with the end product and its delivery date. By moving detailed requirements gathering closer to implementation, Agile requirement techniques enable:
Fast and simple adaptation due to new learning Easy adaptation to changing business needs Removing misunderstanding of requirements
Producing only what is needed now – the right product at the right time at the right price Ensuring existing functionality is not broken by new releases
Increasing and retaining organizational knowledge
Knowledge and skill in agile requirements management is the basis for delivering business value to customers on agile projects
Learn how to foster collaboration, shared risk and learning through Agile requirements management techniques
Understand what good user stories are and how and when to write them
