The Transitioning To Agile Development course is for anyone in the process of transitioning to an agile development environment, or anyone thinking about transitioning to an agile development environment.

Transitioning from another approach, whether it be waterfall or some type of iterative environment, first requires a change in mindset. You need to change concepts, such as your feelings about change and failure being negative, to them becoming positive. You need to be able to pitch transitioning to an agile development environment to upper management, by explaining and proving the benefits of transitioning.

To have a successful transition, you need to make sure everyone involved in the project is aware of the Agile-Scrum roles and responsibility. You need to make sure they understand how to define what "done" means and what "satisfaction and acceptance criteria" means, plus why prioritization is the key, and how to maintain it through grooming.
