Design Thinking and Agile

In this workshop the participants work in teams and with coaches in a simulated innovation project. The goal will be to translate the rough idea into a testable prototype that is prepared for agile implementation. In this way the participants learn how the agile approaches Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Scrum can work together as a team.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR PARTICIPANTS

"Valuable content, inspirational people and exciting insights on how to combine different agile approaches in business."

Peter Brinkmann,

Project Manager, Talanx Germany, HDI-Kundenservice AG, Hannover

 

"During the three days of the workshop, the HPI Academy succeeded in ensuring a valuable exchange with other participants and the trainers, which I am happy to continue after the end of the course. I liked the fact that the individual methodologies were also critically evaluated in the workshop and that their possibilities and limitations based on real-world experience were openly discussed. A big thank you to the trainers and other participants!
