The Agile Methodology

Overview

Sometimes waiting can be unbearable. And it’s even worse if the thing you’re waiting for is rubbish. Like waiting a whole year for a birthday party only for the decorations to be boring, the music to be too quiet, and only 3 people turn up. But what if, instead, you could have a bunch of smaller birthday parties throughout the year to improve the music, the decorations, and get more people involved?

This is basically what the agile methodology of project management means. A way to split projects into smaller bits, to deliver quicker results with constant revision and feedback. It’s about speed, flexibility, and experimentation rather than being stuck in long, rigid development cycles. This course will tell you everything you need to know about the agile methodology, so you can see if it’s right for your next project.
