Facilitated By Ola M.
Wrap up the foundations phase with a comprehensive review and get excited about the hands-on project starting in March.
Session Overview:
This session bridges our foundational learning with the practical application that begins in March. We’ll review key concepts, address lingering questions, and preview the exciting project ahead.
Foundations Review – Key Concepts:
• Agile values and principles recap
• Scrum framework comprehensive review
• Roles, events, and artifacts summary
• Tools mastery: Jira and Miro highlights
• Estimation and metrics key takeaways
Interactive Q&A Session:
This is your opportunity to ask anything that’s still unclear from the past month. No question is too basic or too complex. We’ll take the time to ensure everyone has a solid foundation before we start the project.
Common Questions We’ll Address:
• How do I apply this in my current role?
• What if my organization doesn’t use Scrum?
• How do I get my first Agile role?
• What certifications should I pursue?
• How do I handle resistance to Agile?
Project Preview – What’s Coming in March:
• Introduction to the hands-on project
• Building real features for agile103.com
• Two projects: Donation Page and Resource Library
• Learning “vibe coding” with AI tools (Claude, v0, Bolt)
• Full project lifecycle from discovery to launch
What You’ll Build in March:
• Donation feature to support Agile 103’s sustainability
• Resource library with gated access for community members
• Complete project experience: discovery, requirements, development, testing, launch
How the Project Works:
• Self-organized teams of 8-12 students
• Roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers, QA
• Daily standups (student-led, asynchronous)

• Building with AI assistance (no coding experience required)
Why This Project is Unique:
• Solve real problems for our community
• Learn cutting-edge AI development tools
• Portfolio-worthy project experience
• Complete Agile project lifecycle
• Work with actual stakeholders (the admins!)
Getting Ready for March:
• What to review before project starts
• Tools you’ll need (all free!)
• Setting expectations for time commitment
• How to maximize your learning
Celebration of Progress:
Let’s celebrate what we’ve learned together in January and February! From knowing nothing (or little) about Agile to having solid foundational knowledge – that’s real growth.
Benefits of Attending This Session:
Participants will consolidate their foundational knowledge, get clarity on any remaining questions, feel prepared and excited for the hands-on project, and understand exactly what to expect in March. This session ensures no one is left behind as we move into practical application.
