“Belinda helped me to understand the concept and details of the Agile approach in a very effective way and with an excellent balance between breadth and depth. We also had the chance to talk about the different possibilities and options of applying Agile to the context of the business including suggestions of the best approach to start using it in real cases. As someone with Project Management background I really enjoyed the experience as it allowed me to expand my project management “toolkit”. I will start applying Agile in the business in the short term with special attention to its visibility and team coordination features.”

“If you are always looking for ways to make you, your team and your business smarter then I strongly recommend this course. Thanks Belinda!” Percy Griffiths, Process Improvement Manager, Finance & IT, BRITA UK.
