Agile University Classes Sold Out
I got an email today from the Agile University in which were listed upcoming classes and the locations of those classes. I was surprised and encouraged to see that a couple of the classes were sold out. It got me to thinking about the current state of the economy and whether businesses send their folks to classes like these in order to increase the efficiency/output of their current staff. It also made me wonder if there are companies out there that are looking to make the switch to Agile as a result of needing to do more with less.
I’ve often thought that at times like these training in Project Management and especially niche areas like Agile have got to be attractive to companies that are forced to do more with less. I’ve also often made the argument that at times like these companies figure out what their minimum levels of staffing are.
What are your thoughts? What experiences are you having right now as a result of the faltering economy.
