introduction to Agile and Scrum, where an

experienced Agile coach explained core

principles like iterative development,

continuous improvement, and customer
satisfaction. We explored the Scrum

covering core services such as Compute Engine, Storage, and Database. We deployed a

web application on GCP, explored the GCP Console, and learned how to manage resources
and monitor performance. The workshop provided a solid foundation in Agile practices

and cloud computing through interactive learning and practical exercises.
