Different frameworks and what suits your team
What are the ceremonies and their intentions
What are the different roles and their responsibilities
Ways and channels of collaboration and the mindset to have
Simulation exercises to get a practical gist of Agile mindset and way of working

3. Are your training programs suitable for remote Agile teams?

Yes, we do have comprehensive and interactive workshops designed for remote agile teams. Our coaches and trainers emphasize on delivering the content with appropriate anecdotes, examples, and real time simulations. Our general idea of delivering a training program for remote teams include :

Use of virtual meetings tools like zoom etc to deliver the trainings

Many agile training companies use pre and post training assessment to get an immediate measurement of the impact of the training program. However, we believe that will measure the specific knowledge around the area covered in that training program from a theoretical perspective only. What works best, in our view, is to encourage teams to start the application of the concepts in their actual work area immediately after the workshop and experiment with them for 3-4 weeks. We should re-group after this period for a problem resolution session with the agile coach, where implementation bottlenecks are discussed from a practitioner’s perspective. This should trigger the transformation journey, translating theory to practice. Quarterly agility assessments should be done to check agile maturity in teams.

Create buy-in – A good training program should create a pull towards agile and the excitement to explore agile ways of working for everyone involved. The trainer should focus on ‘why we are doing agile’
Role based interventions – Learning programs can start with a common understanding but then target specific roles and equip people with competencies and skills to be better in their role.

Setting this context and expectation is very important while preparing the agile training plan.

Any agile company transformation follows a know-do-be approach, which translates to’ knowing agile’ or building a basic awareness around agile methodology, frameworks, roles, responsibilities, ceremonies etc, followed by ‘doing agile’ or implementing the agile practices – sprinting, working in iterative and incremental way, building a pull based, self organizing work culture, collaborating frequently with the customer and getting the overall experience of working in an agile based environment.
