Modes of Delivery
Team/Corporate Training
Our Corporate training is carefully structured to help executives keep ahead of rapidly evolving business environments.Description
Agile delivery and consulting methods have evolved considerably over the years. Modern methods of Agile project delivery and process improvements have benefitted from the insight of a number of frameworks such as ODI (Outcome-Driven Innovation) or Jobs-To-Be-Done-Theory and Impact Mapping to deliver the right product to the right people at the right time. In this course, we cover modern agile project delivery from inception/ideation to testing and eventually continuous integration and delivery. Along the way, we will gain a better understanding of what an Agile mindset truly is, how to scale effectively, and how focusing on customer outcomes and use case scenarios results in better products and services.
On successful completion of the course, you will receive a Course Completion Certificate from KnowledgeHut.

Our Students See All
Very well conducted. Proactive management from the moderator, many exercises, hence quite practical, minimizing theoretical overload. Very pleased with the learning, for new starters as well as more experienced participants. Great experience sharing.
Attended workshop in February 2018The experience over the two-day course was fantastic. It was not a dry explanation of the Scrum framework. Instead, a practical, example driven 2 days where we worked through all elements of the Scrum framework. I would have no hesitation in recommending Marco Mulder as a Scrum Master trainer or as a business Scrum coach within a commercial environment. His experience in this field was clear and impressive.
Attended workshop in April 2018Knowledge Hut experience has been very good, this is my second registration with them directly and had total 3 registrations with them. The Trainer, Venue, Course material, Food and other logistics are well organized and managed. Special thanks to Lalit who takes extra effort to help and coordinate on everything. I am happy to take up other courses offered with Knowledge Hut and recommend others also to consider.
Attended workshop in April 2018Marco is a brilliant Scrum coach. I had the pleasure to attend Certified Scrum Master training with Marco as a trainer. I was particularly impressed by Marco's hands on experience that sets him as a captivating knowledgeable trainer. Marco has a very unique approach as a trainer in which he actively engages all participants regardless of their background. And I still keep the really inspiring book on SCRUM he gave to me along with the planning poker cards we used to do task estimation! As a Scrum coach, Marco earns my highest recommendation.
