About this event
This event is primarily for beginners based or able to travel to the North West of England
So, what is a Delivery Manager and what do they actually DO?
"The term delivery manager is used to describe an essential set of skills on an agile team [...]. It describes the person in a skilled, multidisciplinary team who is concerned with enabling that team to deliver value. They do this by creating the right environment for the team to succeed, helping the team to self organise and creating a culture of learning and transparency." Emily Webber
A Delivery Manager needs a variety of skills - planning, communication, facilitation, managing budgets and team dynamics - being good with PEOPLE is the most important.
If you're organised, are a strategic thinker and love working with people, join our Agile Delivery Taster and find out if working in the Tech industry creating products and services on an agile team could be for you.
Our Taster workshops are interactive, hands-on sessions that give our participants the opportunity to try out roles in a supportive and welcoming environment. You don't have to have any prior experience or even know what the role is. Come with your enthusiasm and an open mind.
