Agile Awareness for Non-Digital Government Leaders
A half-day introduction to agile for senior civil servants outside digital roles who work alongside agile teams and need to know what to expect of them.
About This Programme
This half-day programme introduces agile to government leaders who don’t work in a Government Digital and Data role but work alongside agile teams. By the end you’ll be able to explain what agile means and how it works, say what to expect from an agile team and support agile delivery as a senior leader.
It is our lightest-touch option, for leaders who need awareness more than deep capability.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of the half day you’ll be able to:
- Explain what agile means in government, without the buzzwords and jargon
- Say how agile differs from traditional project delivery and why government adopted it
- Say what to expect from an agile team: its ceremonies, its cadence and its ways of working
- Support agile delivery as a senior leader without being a practitioner
- Ask questions that challenge and support an agile team constructively
- Spot the common ways senior leaders undermine agile ways of working without meaning to
