Yet there are long standing and highly successful approaches from industry that historically support concepts of agility going back at least thirty years. Capturing a clear understanding of these concepts, you will be able to capitalize on them to gain the cooperation and acceptance of stakeholders who must approve and participate.

In this course, you will experience several case study scenarios that typify the attributes of most projects in your organization, each providing a recognition point as we explore and discuss the hurdles to Agile.
