The Agile team process is collaborative, iterative and the culmination of idea generation for curriculum development. As a team of subject matter experts, instructional designers, media consultants, and administrative leaders embarked on the design, development and application of the agile inspired process in academia. Our goal remains to define the most current relevant information in an MSN curriculum to provide, scholarly and competency based courses that support learner success.

The process of developing this particular concept is truly a journey of team growth and bonding. As highly driven individuals we build upon each otherʼs strengths moving through a series of important conversations, course iterations and ultimately a product that satisfies the needs of our learners. Together the Agile team engages in idea development for a path to improved course delivery.
