Module 03: Agile Communications Concepts Agile communication differs slightly from communication on traditional projects by emphasizing simplicity, directness, and face-to-face conversations. So we look at how to communicate with Stakeholders and discuss team communication from the perspective of both colocated and distributed teams as well as agile team building.

Module 05: Agile Estimation Concepts At the end of this module, you will have seen how most agile frameworks include some form of estimation, often in the form of the relative size of stories in terms of effort and time. The goal is to identify the highest priority stories from the product backlog and 'package' them into in a single sprint.

This is why we discuss this topic in two broad categories: organic and overt quality concepts. You will also learn about advanced quality concepts for process improvement and product quality tools.

Module 08: Agile Soft Skills Negotiation Concepts Any project, no matter if agile or waterfall, has competing constraints, which leads to tension. Being able to negotiate the appropriate win-win between the team and customers is at the core of this topic. We introduce you to the long list of soft-skills needed.

It permeates throughout many of our lessons but warrants to be called out in its own module. It includes the risk-adjusted backlog, risk burn-down charts and risk-based spikes. We devote a full lesson just to the latter. Just like quality, risk is a core tenet of agile methods. It permeates throughout many of our lessons but warrants to be called out in its own module.

Module 12: Agile Value Stream Analysis Concepts A value stream is a series of steps that agile projects employ to build solutions that provide a continuous flow of value to a customer. We learn to eliminate work that provides no value, observe the flow of materials and info, be as objective as possible and make any mandatory “non-value added” processes more efficient.

Therefore: We Recommend That You Sign Up For The Agile PrepCast Elite Instead! The Agile PrepCast Elite includes both the basic training as well as our full-featured PMI-ACP Exam Simulator.
