Agile’s emergence as a huge global movement extending beyond software, is driven by the discovery that the only way for organisations to cope with today’s turbulent customer-driven marketplace is to become Agile. Agile enables organisations to master continuous change. It permits firms to flourish in a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
As part of the Full-time MBA, the Innovation Module on Agile Project Planning introduces you to the principles and practices that make Agile such a powerful approach to leading modern organisations. Together, we will explore:
- The rise of the Agile movement and why it matters in today’s business landscape.
- The distinctions between Agile values, principles, and practices.
- Value-driven development and adaptive planning techniques.
- How to foster deep collaboration with customers, across organisations, and within teams.
The module places a special focus on two core Agile disciplines, Scrum and Kanban, brought to life through interactive workshops and a capstone Lego4Scrum simulation. These hands-on experiences ensure you develop practical skills, not just theoretical knowledge. By completing this module, you will:
- Be ready to contribute as an effective member of a Scrum team, even as a beginner.
- Gain a practical toolkit for managing change and driving innovation.
- Receive a Certificate in Agile Fundamentals: Scrum and Kanban, demonstrating your capability and readiness to apply Agile principles in real-world business contexts.
