Online Agile Master in Public Services

For whom

This course is intended for anyone who works in the public sector and deals with complex problems…

  • Transformation Business Partners
  • Project managers
  • Operations Coordinators
  • Transformation Delivery Managers
  • Project Officers
  • Information Analysts
  • Project support officer
About the training

The Agile Master for Public Services is an immersive training programme, which blends theory and practical exercises to develop a thorough working knowledge of Agile and how it can be used to deliver complex change projects within the public sector.

This course will help you answer questions like

  • How can you apply agile practices to the public sector environment?
  • How can we work iteratively to remove uncertainty when dealing with complex problems?
 

At this point, we’d usually set out what people learn during the programme, but we run the training itself as an Agile project. Delegates take on the different roles within an Agile project and they choose what to work through and when (just like an Agile team – this will make sense when you do the training). Our experience is that this really helps to embed learning.
