A virtual, flexible program designed to ensure that all staff in the organization who are asked to train either internally or externally are ready and prepared to create training material and to provide training courses.
Many businesses and project managers are faced with a choice of choosing a traditional plan-driven approach (or what is sometimes called “Classical" or “Waterfall”) or a more Agile approach for their projects. This can be a very important decision with significant business impact. Sometimes that requires blending the two approaches together in the right proportions to fit the situation to get the best of both worlds. It takes more skill to do that and this workshop will help you achieve this.
