March 2023 NKDAgility: The magic of immersive classes

Immersion programmes extend learning beyond the classroom, combining real-world practice, retrospectives, and expert guidance for deeper, more effective skill development.

While all of our courses are centred around valuable learning outcomes achieved through experiential learning within a classroom environment, they are most often delivered as intense consecutive 2-day or 4-half-day experiences.

This compresses learning into a short space of time and minimises not only the amount that folks remember but also denies them the ability to try things and come back to the trainer.

To combat this we have already moved from a 2-full-day format to 4-half-days and added:

It’s just not enough!

Enter the “immersion program”! The Immersion Program is an alternative format that extends the learning experience beyond the classroom by allowing students to apply what they have learned to real-world settings. This format is enhanced by incorporating retrospectives for improvement, making the learning experience highly effective and practical.

Our first Professional Scrum Product Owner Immersion (PSPO-I) will run from 3rd July 2023  and be delivered over 8 weekly 4h live sessions.

What is an Immersion Program?

An Immersion Program is a method of learning where students are actively engaged in the material and apply their knowledge in real-world contexts over an extended period of time.

Benefits of an Immersion Program

What Do You Get With an Immersion Program?

Who Is an Immersion Program For?

The application of learning during an Immersion Program is core to the concept. Participants should have the opportunity to work with a real team on a real product during participation in the program. If you do not have this opportunity while participating in the program, you can either find a partner to pair with, or you should consider attending a  traditional class .

Immersion Programs are an extension to our existing course offerings, not a replacement. We believe that learners have preferences and unique situations, to which we intend to offer greater variety in course delivery methods to meet these needs. The below characteristics of learners are generalized and intended to help guide you towards the learning method you think might suit you best.

The Lean-Agile Practitioners Community has grown to over 1300+ members, and new usability updates by our platform team will hopefully make it an even bigger success this year.

It’s free to join the community, and our students get access to the Professional Scrum space for 1-on-1 Coaching , The Situation Room, & Tails from the Trenches!
