Automate Agile Workflows and Project Backlogs

This practical course teaches how to design and implement automations and integrations that reduce manual handoffs and enforce governance. You will map manual processes into trigger-action flows, design and test single-purpose automations (WIP enforcement and overdue escalation), and build secure point-to-point integrations to send project updates to communication channels. Emphasis is on rule logic, filters, test cases, and a concise runbook to operationalize automations reliably. You will validate automations against simple acceptance criteria and deliver a working single-rule automation, an integration diagram, and a troubleshooting log for handover. The course balances engineering considerations with governance and security basics to ensure automations are maintainable and auditable
