Which agile course is best for beginners?

Agile Foundation level courses are specifically designed to develop a working-level knowledge of principles and practices for working in operational or project environments that seek to benefit from agile working methods.

What is the difference between Agile and SCRUM?

The term Agile is used to describe a working approach for delivering value more effective and faster.  There are many frameworks designed to assist in applying agile principles and practices.   SCRUM is one such framework.  Others include: HiLogic’s Agile Foundations Framework, PRINCE2 Agile, AgilePM, DevOps, plus many more.

Most Agile frameworks are designed to benefit a specific use case.  SCRUM for example, was initially designed to support agile working methods within operational environments.  Today SCRUM is also commonly used in project environments.  To assist its use in project environments and align with project governance and control expectations, agile project management methods such as PRINCE2 Agile and AgilePM were devised and integrate SCRUM as the basis of their project delivery model.
