COURSE OFFERINGS
World class Agile training should always be fun, engaging and exceptionally interactive. Telling just isn’t training - and what puts you in orbit is training that addresses real world issues. Mercury engagements are custom designed and led by senior Training and Development experts with over two decades of classroom experience and real world product development success.
The secret to Agile adoptions lies in the truth that “One cannot provide clarity that they do not have.” Agile is above all people over process, and mastery of the operating system of human beings is required for the promise of Agile to be fulfilled. Our program designs leverage world class human development expertise and real world practice in the business world.
