Teaching Agile So It Sticks
summary
A repeatable method for making Agile training stick uses a one-page Course Creation Canvas and six concrete steps: pick the essential material, write 2–3 observable can-do statements, run a quick connection activity, deliver minimal content, force concrete practice (write real user stories, define acceptance criteria, charter a team), and finish with a synthesis question. Uses simple tools (paper canvas or electronic, Menti polling), fits a semester (~30–35 hours) or a half-day module, and aims to overcome the Forgetting Curve so learners actually do the work afterward.
