Agile and Scrum workshops start Jan. 31, 2019

Now it’s easy for NC State students and alumni to learn Agile—a set of widely adopted practices that embrace change and adaptability—from professional practitioners.

What is Agile, you ask? Agile is a key practice in both the technology and the business world reaching well beyond software development. Rather than being set in stone from the start, requirements and development solutions consistently and constantly evolve through a relationship between collaborative, cross-functional teams and the product’s eventual end-users.

The NCSU Libraries offers a three-lesson workshop in Agile and Scrum, taught and coordinated by volunteers from Fidelity's Women in Technology Special Interest Group. This is a great opportunity to learn from and network with professionals active in the field. The workshops are free; advance registration is required. NC State alumni are encouraged to attend and can register by emailing David Woodbury (david_woodbury@ncsu.edu) by January 28.
