Premise of this course

Becoming an agile organization is a profound transformation that requires senior leaders, middle managers, and agile team members to change the way that they organize their work, manage that work, and measure the results of the work. Agile teams cannot do this on their own; they need help from the entire organization.

The changes for all involved are profound, but so are the results when everyone’s goals and ways of working are aligned.
