what is it about…
Are you in the middle of an Agile Transformation? Or are you planning one in the future? If you’re looking for an alternative approach on how to bring agility to your environment, you have come to the right place.
Flight Levels System Architecture will enable you to see your organization from a different perspective. It will provide you with a systemic approach to improving your organization in a simple pragmatic and cost-effective way.
The goal of this course is to help you realize how the different Flight Level 1, 2, and 3 Systems are connected to each other and how to improve them. You will also learn how to connect lonely agile islands to improve the value flow in your entire organization.
If you are wondering what the Flight Levels model is about, here is a quick intro post for you.
the format of the course
The training course program is expanded by preliminary self-training and “homework.” This allows the most efficient use of time in the training sessions for discussions, and individual and group exercises.
This training incorporates many concepts of “training from the back of the room”, in which the participants say and do more than the instructor: short blocks of theory alternate with practice and exercises.
This course could be delivered online (4 modules, 4h for each module, and exercises in between modules) or in-person (2 full days)
