Why?

Different people have different learning methods that are suitable to them. Some prefer to learn reading about things (Visual), others prefer to learn by practicing (Kinesthetic), while others likes to listen to people to talk about things (Auditory). But which one is best? The reality is that it depends really on the person. How we learn depends on our senses to process the information that surround us. People has a mix of learning styles with tendency to use one more than the other.

Agile Retreat was founded with the understanding that learning is not confined to the classroom or to just one single method. We believe the best way of learning is by combining all learning methods in a way that can appeal to our brain as it process and stores the information.

Why Agile?

Technology is changing the world extremely fast and has become a huge part of our lives. Agile it came to be because of the challenges within software development. Projects were taking too long to deliver anything, and it was a need to make development more adaptive and iterative. Out of these challenges within software development, Agile was born and the principles were written in the Agile Manifesto back in February 2001 at a summit of seventeen independent-minded practitioners of several programming methodologies.

In today’s world, especially in Internet related projects there is a need to deliver projects fast and often. Agile allows you to deliver continuous business value much faster and it also ensures that the value lasts over time. It also allows you to catch mistakes and failures much quicker than you would do using other approaches.
