Projects, the Agile Way
On the 23rd and 24th April the 9th training course was delivered online via Zoom. The course topic was “Managing Projects the Agile Way” and was well attended with 22 spots filled and a good degree of engagement throughout. It was the first time YuTru delivered training online.
To help participants engage more effectively and efficiently, engagement monitoring software was used during the course. The software enabled the presenter to pose questions to the participants and to receive answers to those questions in real time. Questions pertained to participants’ project experiences or the current course content and this allowed the presenter to gauge in real-time the degree to which the learning outcomes were being achieved.
Participants could watch the results from their and their colleagues answers graphed on bar charts and pie charts as they came in for real-time reporting on the groups performance.
Participants reported that getting immediate feedback about how well they had understood what was taught, was helpful in identifying where further questions or clarification from the presenter would be helpful.
The next training course #10 will be held online in May and plan to make use of the real-time engagement system again to give participants a more interactive experience online.
