Agile Introduction
One Day Agile Introduction
Agile software development is based on principles defined by the Agile Manifesto; a disciplined project management outline that is conducive to dynamic inspection and adaptation. Agile methods include many product development frameworks such as Scrum and XP (eXtreme Programming) which allow for rapid delivery of software. The Scrum framework uses simple iterative practices for team collaboration on complex projects.

I found Trainer to be very knowledgable on IT systems, Project Management methods, Lean and Agile concepts. Most of all though, he was a top class facilitator and both engaging and passionate with the subject matter. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
Trainer is very knowledgeable in his field. Through his training, he has given my team the right tools toassist with managing different types of projects at our institution. I recommend the training.
Thanks for sharing this course with me and I enjoyed myself very much! Do keep me posted for up-coming courses/seminar/etc.
The training program is informative, thank you very much.
We had a group which allowed AllSys Trainer to spend a bit more time on the individual’s needs. It was conducted very well and I personally found both the theory and practical elements very useful in my current job. I am certain that key takeaways will be revisited time and time again throughout my career.
I like the speaker for sharing lots of real life examples thru his experience on how software development project is run and how agile, lean, scrum is applied in real life.
AllSys Trainer is a very good trainer in the field(ACP). He has a very good knowledge about the subject and is very good in giving real time examples to make people (students) understand the concepts. He has indepth knowledge on whatever he speaks and he would make a very good Agile trainer and coach. If you are looking for Agile Trainer or a an Agile Coach, I strongly recommend him.
I must say that he comes across as a exceptionally talented trainer who knows the finer aspects of Project and Program Management. He is an expert in his domain and can communicate in a clear and succint manner. Finally, he is one person who has a wealth of knowledge and he is your person to go to, in case you would want to enhance your career in Project, Program and Portfolio Management.
