Diversity in the Agile-Leadership Course

Registrants for the agile leadership course come from 9 distinct companies and represent a variety of different "roles":
  • developers
  • project managers
  • business analysts
  • executive
We're excited to have that kind of diversity for the event. It presents a great opportunity to learn and grow together.

The Agile-Leadership Course is Full!

The response has been incredible! All spots available are filled. If you are still interested, please register and we will contact you if there are any cancellations. We can work on running it a second time if there is enough demand.

Invoices will be sent out soon.
