The 100% online Certificate in Agile offers students the opportunity to improve project efficiency and team effectiveness while preparing for Agile certification exams.
Agile is a process improvement approach that focuses on improving product time to market, customer satisfaction and project adaptability by prioritizing rapid development and continuous delivery of products and services. The methodology enables organizations to see quicker wins and create higher quality deliverables – enhancements which can ultimately improve efficiency and bottom-line results.
