Chegg Skills' Agile Project Execution course introduces learners to practical strategies for managing and delivering project work using Agile approaches. Learners explore how Agile teams coordinate work, monitor progress, communicate effectively, and adapt throughout project execution to keep work aligned with project goals.

Planning lays the foundation for an Agile project, but successful execution is where teams deliver value and adapt to change. In this module, you'll explore the practices that guide Agile teams through each sprint, from planning and daily collaboration to monitoring progress, testing, reviews, and retrospectives. You'll examine how these activities help teams stay aligned, respond to feedback, and continuously improve throughout the project lifecycle. As you explore each stage of execution, think about the information the team gains from every sprint and how it can be used to improve the next one.
