Teamworking is becoming more and more dynamic, diverse, and digital. In customer-oriented projects, team members are increasingly required to adapt to frequent changes which can arise from within, in the form of changing contributors with multiple affiliations, as well as from outside, through changing customer demands and market requirements. Team members are expected to rethink how teams work together across their organization and apply a modern, agile approach to work.
Participants in this course will get an introduction to the concept of agility within the context of teamwork. They will learn about the different methods that agile teams employ to increase their flexibility and efficiency.
Participants will also be introduced to different pedagogic strategies and methods of how to teach agile teamwork in their respective learning environment.
As a practical activity, participants will create a teaching scenario based on the newly gained knowledge.
