This course is for everyone. People completely new to agile looking for a quick overview and teams who have been doing it for a while looking for a refresher on the basics.

We've also structured it to be something you can do in a single sitting of 1 hour, or over a week watching only a few minutes at a time. We've included exercises you can do to deepen your learning.
