Application

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to plan and facilitate structured Agile processes to deliver customer value.
This unit applies to senior operators, team leaders, managers or others who have been given the authority to gain input from customers, project partners and others to define the project direction and goals, maintain focus on customer specifications, plan project increments and facilitate project team to deliver increments.
This unit applies to any organisation that is implementing structured Agile processes.
Agile is typically applied in contexts where the solution or outcome is not known, or in constantly changing environments, and where the customer can reasonably use and critique the ‘product in progress’.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
