Additional information
As the opportunities for agile adoption grow, so does the need for agile mindsets and capabilities.
Traditional Project Management roles have had to pivot to Agile methodologies, and many employees working in various forms of product development roles have taken on iterative development mindsets.
A strong understanding of the importance of working in Agile is a must-have for anyone working in a project-based environment. Skills in Agile can lead to a career as a project manager, product owner, scrum master, delivery manager/lead or business analyst.
