  Competencies are behaviors that encompass the knowledge, skills, and attributes required for successful performance. As Agile has gained momentum, the notion of having an “Agile mindset” has also gained in popularity. Having an Agile mindset is manifest in our competence to perform in our roles, be they on projects or in other areas of an organization. AthenaNexus has the competence to help you acquire an Agile mindset or to continue maturing as an Agile practitioner or leader. What can AthenaNexus do for you? - Reduce time-to-operations/time-to-market for your products and services - Create higher-quality products/services leading to higher customer satisfaction and improved team morale - Increase collaboration and ownership among and across teams - Define more relevant metrics that are focused on creating a sustainable pace of work and value delivery - Reduce risk in projects leading to more predictable results, lower costs, and better performance What makes us different? We are from the real world: Our courses are based on real-world Agile developed by working with and listening to clients who are both new to Agile and those who are experienced. We encourage learning agility not just learning Agile: Learning Agile is important, but acquiring learning agility means you are able to constantly evolve and adapt to change. Being truly Agile as embodied in having an Agile mindset requires learning agility. We focus on roles and their competencies: The Agile mindset is manifested through competencies. We help you become competent in your role. We can customize our offerings: For clients wanting on-site customized offerings we collaborate with you to create offerings that are suited to closing specific knowledge/skill gaps or in creating a program of offerings that take your staff from the introductory to the expert level. We take a practical approach: In Agile, training and educational content is only part of creating a high-quality learning experience. We engage participants so they come away with a deeper understanding of how to apply what they have learned. We can provide follow-on Coaching/Mentoring: We can provide coaching/mentoring services after the training has stopped as well as in between training sessions to help you and your people get up-to-speed and to imbed Agile in their everyday work. We can focus on specific projects teams, as well as individual roles and competencies “from the code room to the board room SM“.
