Self-paced learning + interactive sessions
Self-paced learning on our online platform covers basic concepts and more theoretical content.
For the Agile Architecture Practice training program, the self-paced learning period begins two weeks before the first of 4 interactive sessions. The timing allows you to prepare for each training day at your own pace.
During the interactive sessions, either online or in-person, we will dive deeper into specific topics and solve hands-on cases and exercises, making the most of your time with our experts.
