The Problem
Decoding The Critical Role of Learning in Agile Mindsets
Philips recognized the need to better the proficiency of their core execution teams, comprising Program Managers, Release Train Engineers (RTEs), and Scrum Masters (SMs). The challenge was to enhance their leadership, technology, and process management capabilities, ensuring that their work was in sync with the company’s overarching goals. Philips required a comprehensive program for project management that would sharpen technical skills and empower these professionals to lead with an agile mindset and effectively communicate with stakeholders.
The Solution
Unlocking Success with Immersive Learning and Expert Mentorship
StackRoute crafted a 14-week, intensive learning program based on three key pillars, namely, Technology Effectiveness, Process Effectiveness, and Career Enablers. The program was an eclectic blend of master classes, in-depth explorations, and project-based learning with mentorship.
From the onset, each participant selected a project to apply the skills they were acquiring, ensuring practical, hands-on experience. The program culminated in a project showcase, where participants presented their solutions, demonstrating their improved ability to engage with stakeholders and highlighting the expansion of their roles beyond traditional facilitation.
