Transcript
There’s a whole range of tools and techniques to help you work in an agile way and you probably already know some of them. Whatever tools you use, they must add value to the way that the team works by helping them to:
-
Organize and plan their work;
-
Work more efficiently; and
-
Communicate with other team members, stakeholders and customers.
This module has two guides:
-
The first one introduces some specific tools and techniques that will help you work in a more agile way – things like:
-
Customer stories and epics;
-
Relative estimating and story points;
-
Task lists;
-
Roadmaps;
-
Swarms; and
-
Kanban
You’ll need to know about these tools for the exam so you should carefully review this guide.
-
The second guide provides an overview of project and programme management, including portfolio management, programme management, project management, service management and agile delivery. This is useful background reading and will help you put AgileSHIFT into context.
You can view the guides online or print them for reference. As you look through them, try and work out if any of the approaches will help you implement AgileSHIFT or simply work in a more agile way.
