Academy
Innovation has a method
Innovation succeeds better with the right approach. In our training sessions, we provide the employees of the Defense Group with the knowledge and methodological skills to successfully engage in innovation work and manage it independently.


SCRUM
SCRUM is an agile project management method that helps make projects more efficient and flexible.
The training teaches how teams work in short work cycles, called sprints, hold regular meetings in a structured way, and continuously gather feedback to steadily improve the project.
The goal is to promote collaboration and enable faster and more agile responses to changes.
