Format
In-person, interactive sessions are an excellent way to learn and embed knowledge.
Our small group size enables personal attention, and allows us to learn from attendees as well as the facilitator.
We’ll blend theory with actual case studies to bring the learning to life, and although Erika is an agile advocate, shy won’t shy away from addressing challenges and common pitfalls in implementation.
