Course Brief

Through the Agile Management capstone, participants will have the hands-on opportunity to apply the knowledge, skills, strategies and principles they have learned to deliver a transformative project for their organization using Scrum.

Participants begin by mapping the business value and strategic outcomes desired by the organization and identifying transformative projects or goals to achieve them. They will then engage in creating a Product Backlog and Release Plan based on the business outcomes and resources available, setting the stage for iterative development and delivery of business value. Participants will then conduct Sprint Planning and Product Backlog Item (PBI) Refinement sessions with respective Scrum teams. Participants will also be applying Agile Management best practices to identify and track specific metrics for success and will be responsible for identifying and applying Agile Management practices within their teams and organization. Participants will also create a Learning Plan using the Scrum events and Agile Principles to ensure the integration of continuous learning into the organization culture.

As the capstone progresses, participants will actively engage in the execution of Sprints, daily scrum, backlog refinement and other Scrum events in their roles as Product Owner, Scrum Master and Developers in order to deliver their projects, facilitating real-time collaboration and agility, enhancing team communication and improving responsiveness to change. As part of the capstone and project delivery activity, participants will engage in various Release Plan and Product Backlog Reviews, Project Reviews, and Continuous Development Plan Reviews. Several such reviews are provided throughout the duration of the Capstone to enable ample opportunity for feedback and expertise development.

Throughout the Capstone, participants will acquire a robust and practical skill set for delivering successful projects and business value using Scrum, encompassing Agile planning, collaborative leadership, and continuous improvement, essential for navigating the complexities of contemporary project management and organizational leadership.
