Agile coaching and training
Through our coaching, consultancy and training services, we support your organisation in achieving peak Agility, creating highly proficient, collaborative teams delivering value faster to your users and customers.
CHALLENGES WE SOLVE
Unlocking the full benefits of Agile
You know that Agile should be delivering more. Your teams are busy but not productive and the budget’s being consumed. Releasing is as costly and slow as it ever was. The early value Agile promised to deliver has yet to arrive.
Help is at hand. With targeted support from our Agile experts, you can unlock the full benefits of Agile. We tailor our on-site training courses to your organisation's needs and by embedding our expert coaches in your teams, we accelerate their improvement.
Agile Digital Services (AgileDS™) courses
Whatever your role, APMG’s AgileDS™ course is designed to enable you to contribute effectively to Agile projects following the GDS framework.
Agile Project Management (AgilePM®) courses
Whether you are new to Agile or wish to mature existing ways of working, AgilePM® is a flexible framework suited to your organisation's needs.
IndigoBlue Agile training courses

THE VALUE WE ADD
Optimised Agile for maximised ROI
By honing your teams’ Agile behaviours to improve communication and collaboration, we build their skills, reduce waste, optimise flow and improve productivity. From the operation of the Scrum to more advanced knowledge of incremental delivery of value and dynamic management of uncertainty, we help your organisation vastly increase both speed to market and ROI.
OUR APPROACH
Hands-on coaching for sustainable change
Our expert coaches work directly with your teams to enhance their Agile understanding, behaviours and practical skills. Through our coaching, we cultivate excellence in Agile planning, delivery and governance. Where there are gaps in your teams that need to be filled, we help you to recruit high performing Agile specialists who fit the bill.
We can also work with you to establish your organisation’s Agile Centre of Excellence which captures and radiates this emerging best practice, ensuring sustainable change after we have left.
