Reflect on your learning so far

A chance to pause and reflect on the course as a whole so far.
Congratulations! You are now more than halfway through the course. Let’s take a moment to pause and reflect on what we have learned so far.

Weeks 1, 2 and 3 of this course have provided you with a lot of theory – and, hopefully, a lot to think about!

Before we move on to the more practical focus of Weeks 4 and 5, where we discuss collaboration with the team and working across the phases of the agile life cycle, we have included this step here to give you a chance to pause and reflect on what you have learned. You can also take this opportunity to go back to review any of the material we have covered so far.


Task

In the previous step, we asked you to think about online learning in terms of mental models. Here, we would like you to think more broadly about the content you have covered in this course and your thoughts so far.

Reflecting and taking time to consolidate your learning is important. It may help to consider the following questions:

  • if you had to explain the most useful idea or concept you have learned so far to a colleague in a couple of sentences, what would you say?
  • have you had any ‘aha!’ moments? What would you say is your biggest one?
  • consider your current role – is there anything you have learned so far that you could apply to your work straight away?

Share your thoughts with your fellow learners in the comments below.
