Heart of Agile Fundamentals Workshop with Dr. Alistair Cockburn

INNOVATION ROOTS announces the ‘Heart of Agile Fundamentals Online Workshop’. The workshop is going to be held online on 13-14 June 2020. It will be conducted by Dr Alistair Cockburn, one of the original signatories of the Agile Manifesto, and  President at Humans & Technology Inc.

This workshop is for people at all levels and offers the opportunity to learn how to Collaborate better to improve your Delivery, learn to Reflect and to Improve. Agile has become overly decorated. Simplifying it to just the four words: Collaborate, Deliver, Reflect, Improve, not only recovers the original sense of the movement but also makes it more powerful and easier to learn. This course will leave you with many ideas for how to improve your project. You will also obtain a Heart of Agile Level A certificate.

People from any industry looking to modernize and improve their team’s way of working. No prior knowledge of any field, industry or practice is needed, only curiosity and a desire to improve. Since this course presents a deep simplification and reorientation from “Agile” as usually taught, no previous experience in Agile is needed. Those with experience will learn from the new techniques being introduced.

This workshop helps participants grasp the key concepts, ideas and vocabulary needed to implement modern Agile adoption in the best possible way.

Register for the workshop.

Definition:

A hub and spoke structure is an investment structure used by an investment firm in which several investment vehicles, each remaining individually managed, pool their assets together, contributing to one central investment vehicle. this can also be known as a master-feeder structure. All of the funds within the system generally have the same investment objective. The smaller investment vehicles are referred to as the “spokes.” The central investment vehicle is referred to as the “hub” or the master fund.
