They only covered one IT related area, and that was the beginning of the PC boom (Rise of MS, IBM losing its monopoly on hardware). To be honest I think that Agile Development is outside of the course remit - there are is a lot of information to cover. And although I only had the slimmest of contact with them I had the feeling it was aimed a little higher than day to day management. I guess they could have added it as an optional module, but really are there enough people around who can teach it?
