IBM has a 3 day workshop on Advanced Disciplined Agile Delivery.
Agile is an evolutionary approach to system development that focuses on the regular delivery of high-quality software in a timely and cost efficient manner, with just enough ceremony, and which meets the changing needs of its stakeholders. Agile software development offers the potential for significant process improvement if you adopt it properly. But, it can cause significant disruption if you adopt it improperly. This course provides a tool-independent overview of a disciplined, full-lifecycle approach to agile software delivery. It teaches you to successfully apply fundamental agile techniques throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
