New: Agile & Scrum Fundamentals
Scrum is one of the most popular method of the agile approach. It was originally created and still mainly used in software development in which the emphasis is on smaller and modular implementation iterations called sprints. Through successive sprints, each with new features and functions, the project team can deliver real value sooner. This is also an excellent introductory course for those who just want to learn more about the potential and opportunities (as well as challenges) using an agile approach to managing projects.

Video conferencing can assist with this, as individuals can both see and hear the other person, giving them an opportunity to see visual cues, body language, etc. Understand how trust is built and how it is evaluated is important for us to build team trust. Increased team trust leads to increased team performance. Read more here
