The Agile course led by Jānis Dirveiks provided a great insight to understand the very basics of the Agile concept, without too many details. Very useful if you are thinking of learning Agile or have a plan to implement it in the organization. During the course, it is possible to observe whether such concept is suitable for my organization at all, or whether it is just a fashionable thing of the moment. During the course, it is also possible to try out simple techniques from the Agile methodology. Visually excellent presentation material, which is easy to understand. The instructor's practical experience with Agile is also valuable. (Public course - Agile approach to process management. Understand + Use)
