Interested in either Agile or Lean methods for product development? Capgemini offers dozens of training courses for becoming an Agile and/or Lean expert in various areas: (Agile, Scrum, DevOps, Lean, SAFe and Kanban). Register today!
Capgemini Academy’s Agile and Lean training courses can be divided into various categories. On the one hand, this concerns specific training courses such as Scrum, SAFe, DevOps, Lean and Kanban. We also offer various general Agile training courses.
Organizations that work using the Agile and/or Lean method are better able to deal with changes in the market. Organizations that embrace Lean principles operate more efficiently and more effectively than with traditional methods. Using Agile principles ensures the necessary flexibility in an organization.
Organizations that use either Agile or Lean principles or both focus more directly on clients, quality, collaboration and continuous improvement. Team members experience more responsibility, making them more involved.
An Agile or a Lean expert ensures that teams apply Agile or Lean principles and practices effectively, optimizing product development in both cases. Agile and Lean experts facilitate processes, coach team members and help resolve problems in order to safeguard continuous improvement.
After taking one of our courses, you’ll have the Agile or Lean knowledge you need to work better together and to optimize product development. You can find lots of information about both methods online, but not everything is reliable. With Agile or Lean training, you get the proper information and can put the theory directly into practice. This way you can apply the knowledge more quickly.
Agile and Lean principles are used in many organizations and work best when everyone has the same knowledge. A certificate in either of the working methods, or both, gives you a step up when interviewing.
Our Agile and Lean training courses are of benefit to anyone who develops products and services. Even if you are not involved in this, the training can be useful for your personal development. After all, you learn to think about processes in a different way. Roles often filled in an Agile and/or Lean manner include:
Our trainers are specialists in the Agile and Lean way of working and its various methods – from Agile generally to Kanban and Scrum. They are educated, fully certified and work using the various methodologies themselves. They are pleased to share their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with you. They can also link theory and practice very well. May we introduce:
“Delivering results is my passion.”
“Helping make your work more fun, efficient and easy is my motivation.”
“Dare to fail and to experiment!”
At Capgemini Academy you learn in the way that suits you. Do you prefer classroom training, online or a combination of the two (blended)? You can follow most training courses in-company: within your own organization. We use a variety of tools to make learning even more fun and effective. Consider videos, games, quizzes, webinars and case studies, for example. And you can always contact your trainer with any questions.
Many of our training courses lead to official certification. For example, at Capgemini Academy you can train to become a recognized and certified Scrum master or Scrum product owner. There are also certification options for the other Agile and Lean frameworks.
We also offer training courses that link Agile working with other disciplines. These include the Agile Project Management and Agile Architecture training courses.
Upon completion, many of our training courses lead to official certification and/or the award of a digital badge from Capgemini Academy – so that participants can show the experience they have gained at any time. You can find more information about this on the training course detail pages.
Agile is a mindset that helps teams and organizations orient themselves to flexibility, customer-focused work, continuous improvement and collaboration within (self-organizing) teams. Lean is a holistic approach to continuous improvement of existing processes through removing waste and creating additional customer value.
Together, Agile and Lean (sometimes called Lean Agile) form an exceptionally powerful set of resources for team and product development.
Popular methods for putting the Agile mindset into practice include Scrum, SAFe, DevOps and Kanban.
Scrum focuses on working in self-organizing teams that develop products in short iterations (sprints).
SAFe helps scale Agile and Lean working from the project level to the organizational level and fosters business agility.
DevOps combines IT development and IT administration to deliver products more quickly and efficiently, with greater quality.
Finally, Kanban provides insight into processes through visualization and helps identify and improve weaknesses.
Agile and Lean are not gimmicks, temporary changes or one-time investments. It makes no sense to have a few employees take a training course, and to have the rest of the organization still work in the traditional way. So if you want to implement an Agile or Lean transformation, you have to involve the entire organization.
At Capgemini Academy, we can advise you about how to achieve that turnaround. We can also offer customized Lean and Agile training. Care to know more about the options? Feel free to get in touch with us.
