Agile Leadership Principles and Practices

Maryland places Agile leadership principles within an evolving history of leadership theories. Individual and team empowerment form later modules. The course connects adaptability and transparency with practical facilitation, making it useful for learners who want to examine the conditions that help a team contribute rather than simply adopt a list of ceremonies.

What you will learn

• Compare leadership theories with Agile principles.
• Explain individual and team empowerment.
• Use facilitation ideas to support team decisions.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners; basic project-management knowledge is recommended for aspiring or experienced leaders, project managers and Agile practitioners.

Before you enroll

Compare the leadership ideas with the people, responsibilities and constraints in your example. A framework is a prompt for reflection; its suitability depends on the situation and the evidence available.
