This event facilitated by TorranceLearning is offered at a discounted price and aligns with the Personal and Professional Application of ATD's Talent Development Capability Model.
Agile is a project management approach that provides a framework for adapting to change as it happens. It’s commonly used in the software development space and gaining traction with the learning and development industry. TorranceLearning has adapted Agile methods for instructional design and development projects – we call it the LLAMA® (the Lot Like Agile Management Approach) — and we’ve been teaching and writing about it since 2012.
In this virtual 2-day workshop, you will learn about the Agile project management methods we’ve adapted and how our project teams actually use them on the job. Discover more about how Agile techniques improve centralizing information, keeping a project on track, tracking hours and resources more easily, and defining clear and measurable job tasks. We like to do this with hands-on, minds-on activities that you can apply at work. This lets you grapple with the questions Agile raises in a real-work situation and aids in the transfer to the job afterward because the hard work of getting started has already happened in the classroom.
At the end of this workshop, you should be able to:
