Course description
The development of society and technological innovations bring about new challenges for which traditional approaches are no longer adequate. New approaches need to be applied in order to meet the respective challenges.
Agile management enables companies to dramatically increase their productivity, improve the quality of software, and involve individual employees. The course provides detailed information on the working of agile methodologies, the competences and responsibilities of project stakeholders, and the requirements that accrue for organizations and their executives from adopting agile management. Furthermore, the course will offer a unique opportunity for participants from industry and academia to learn together. They are going to experience management learning in action. Researchers will identify research questions relevant for practice and share their research ideas with practitioners in order to check the relevance of their ideas for practice.

- What do you think about the didactics of the course and the way the course was conducted?
- What did you learn from the colleagues from business and from the collaborative learning of participants from academia and industry?
