Being an agile delivery manager is about being a servant-leader to the team and supporting them to solve problems, complex or otherwise. It's not about managing a team or doing all of the admin work, but rather about have an intrinsic mindset that aligns with agile values and principles. It's about applying that mindset to all of the teams problems - whether it's figuring out how to implement a technically challenging feature, or dealing with a clash of personalities in the team. This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of what agile delivery management is really about.
