Agile Leadership: Introduction to Change

Beginner English SpecializationFREE
Our recommendation
The entry course of a University of Colorado agile-leadership specialization on Coursera, taught by Oxana Trotsenko. It introduces the core ideas of agile leadership and leading change — mindset, principles and why organisations adopt agile ways of working. A gentle, conceptual starting point rather than a hands-on framework course.

Good for: A first, conceptual introduction to agile leadership and change.

Less suitable if: You want hands-on agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban) or an advanced leadership course.
