1 What is Agile development?
Agile development is an approach to software development that values collaboration, feedback, adaptation, and customer satisfaction over rigid plans, documentation, and contracts. Agile teams work in short iterations, called sprints, and deliver working software frequently. They also communicate regularly with stakeholders, users, and customers, and respond to changing requirements and priorities. Agile development is not a single method, but a family of frameworks, such as Scrum, Kanban, XP, and Lean.

Focus more on practical aspects and not just on theoretical learning.Most of the practical aspects have not really been covered as part of the theoretical training by trainers, and these trainings are very basic and fundamental.like user stories—how to write good stories—various patterns of them, acceptance criteria, and how to estimate.There is no standard online training available that can directly benefit you; rather, some basics are available online. I will suggest taking help from an experienced agile coach here and following the train the trainer approach. 2-4 weeks of training to everyone including Teams and other stakeholders and followed by 4 weeks of actual implementation and shadowing with your teams.

Learning Agile development online can be both rewarding and enjoyable, but it also requires discipline and motivation. To get the most out of your online learning experience, set clear and realistic goals for yourself, such as completing a course, passing a quiz, or creating a project. Plan your learning schedule and stick to it by allocating enough time and energy for your online courses. Engage with the course content and instructors by watching the videos, reading the articles, doing the exercises, asking questions, and giving feedback. Connect with other learners to form a learning community by joining forums, groups, or chats and sharing your insights, doubts, and achievements. Finally, review and reinforce what you learn by revisiting the course materials, taking notes, doing practice tests, or teaching others.

Don't let the course vendors limit your perspective. Courses are one of the less effective ways of learning about agile approaches, and at best will leave you at entry-level, a LONG way from mastery. Best approach is to have an expert working alongside you. I'd say "Agile Coach" but that title has now been diluted beyond recognition. Expect to spend at least 15 years in relevant work before mastery is achieved. Really, there's no substitute for DOING agile development, ideally in a broad range of contexts. What a course can do is give some idea of what things to think about and if you're lucky, how to think about them. That's better than nothing, is all.
