Concepts

The Agile framework emphasizes the benefits of working with cross-functional teams and encourage strong communication between business owners who are responsible for providing requirements and user stories. Although the Agile Manifesto emphasized face-to-face communication, for a project to be successful, collaboration must go beyond face-to-face, especially not all team members and stakeholder can always be in the same place at the same time. This course emphasizes collaboration as a project culture that must nurtured and encouraged throughout all phases of the project and beyond. The instructor relies on his experience working with projects of different sizes using different team configurations to broaden the scope of collaboration beyond face-to-face communication.
