In this 13-video course, learners will explore Lean and Agile methodologies and the Scrum approach to software development and project management. Begin with an overview of both the Lean and Agile software methodologies, and then explore the foundational Agile manifesto underpinning Agile development methodology. This leads learners into examining the relationship between Lean and Agile methodologies, and an overview of the Scrum approach to Agile development. You will explore benefits of both the Lean and Agile development methodologies, as well as benefits of the Scrum approach to Agile development. Next, you will delve into Waterfall versus Agile, and how Agile methodology differs from traditional waterfall project management. Discover best practices to follow when transitioning from traditional software project management to Agile/Lean, and learn how to select the best approach for a project and when not to use the Lean/Agile methodologies. The course concludes with an exercise that involves recognizing how Lean, Agile, and Scrum are applied to software development and project management and the benefits each provides.
