Training an Agile Team

Training Time
When training an agile team, this could be difficult because a lot of people develop habits which are hard to break. When training a team through agile, it is best to start out small and slowly work your way out to the others. Conversion by contagion is a great way to start because it begins by allowing a small team to try agile and with their new excitement, expand their new knowledge their coworkers in the office. Secondly, make sure that you have agile trainers that are there to teach. Having a person that works with agile teach may have complications and biased views based on their past experiences. Trainers from university and certified websites may offer a better view and understanding to the learner

Once a core group is given training, they can learn the methods by correctly following the agile framework. The core group will be the most important team because when they spread information to the other workers, you want it to be precise to eliminate the need for retraining. They will begin with being trained on agile. This will introduce them to the rules of how agile works and followed up by a discussion on doubts and concerns. The discussion will make sure that everybody is clear and ready to move on to the next steps.

When training a team and seeing that they are becoming well trained, you will see the investment that is being made. If a team is having fun while learning the material, after the training is over, they will be excited to spread the knowledge and training they have to the other workers. They will be the most impactful and enthusiastic people, since they will be the one spreading the energy throughout the company.
