Course description
The Rcademy Agile Change Management Certification Training Course is designed to equip participants with the fundamentals of agile change management and how agile techniques influence interactions and roles driving change. The certification helps to connect the gap between persons who have studied techniques, formal theories, and models of agile change management and those seeking to learn the practical implementation of agile and change management methodologies. The course covers the core principles of agile change management, empowerment, collaboration, and self-direction. The focus is also on agile metrics, leadership, and accounting principles and contracts. Attendees will also learn agile, pioneering tools that enable the entrenchment of change initiatives in organizations.
What is agile change management?
Agile change management is an extension of Scrum, AgilePM, agile development techniques, and SAFe, which establishes the rules on how to design a product line that constantly delivers practical changes in the guise of functionality and new features. Agile techniques are concerned with generating returns on investment within the shortest intervals. This return, in turn, funds more deliveries that frequently occur during the lifecycle of the change management. Agile differs from traditional change systems, also called the waterfall style, because it doesn’t wait to complete every aspect before user deliverables are given. Instead, an Agile Change Management system utilizes an iterative process that allows projects to be divided into various parts known as “sprints.” Each sprint goes through a smaller version of a waterfall project management system, delivering that aspect of the project and proceeding to the next sprint.
