Have you ever come across the term agile methodology but don't know how it is
different from classical project management? If you want to understand the key
differences but don't want to attend a long methodology training, or if you want
to strengthen the agile methodology in your organization and engage your
colleagues in this new approach, this training is designed for you.
Goal Based on a playful learning approach, the training will help you gain insight
into the fundamental differences between today’s two major project management
methodologies (Waterfall or also known as classical and Agile). It is not our
aim, as the duration of the training does not allow for this, to provide deep
methodological knowledge and we will not evaluate one over the other.
Whom we recommend it
This training can bring outstanding value to a company in two situations: when
an organization is just getting acquainted with agility and wants to understand
what this approach offers over classical project management. If they don’t want
to attend a professional training course of several days or weeks, they can
learn the basic principles here. Also, organizations where agile projects may
have already started, but the organization does not yet fully understand it, or
where agile transformation is stuck will find this education beneficial. This
training can help to communicate the principles in a way that is understandable
to colleagues who are not tasked with a deep professional understanding of
agile.

Description
Everyone knows LEGO. Our training helps you learn to use this universal and
creative toy in a new way. During the time spent together, we will divide the
participants (10-12 people) into two groups and simulate the two methodologies
through two short project tasks. After solving the tasks, we will discuss the
differences and lessons learned. The training comes with pre-defined tasks and
game rules, so no long preparatory work is necessary. Participants are not
expected to have project management experience or knowledgen.
