Agile Boot Camp: Practitioner’s Workshop to Pragmatic Real-World Adoption

While not a silver bullet, Agile Methodologies are quickly becoming the most practical way to create outstanding software. We’ll explore the leading methodologies. You’ll learn the basic premises and techniques behind Agility — so that you can apply them to your projects.

Discover the Strengths Across the Various Methodologies

Scrum, Extreme Programming, Lean, Dynamic Systems Development Method, Feature Driven Development and other methods each have their strengths. While there are significant similarities that have brought them together under the Agile umbrella, each method brings unique strengths that can be utilized for your team success. Rarely do organizations adopt one methodology in it’s pure form. Rather success is achieved by combining the best practices, creating a hybrid approach.

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • Practice and maintain a regular cadence when delivering working software each iteration
  • Follow the team approach; start as a team, finish as a team
  • Gain knowledge and understanding of Agile principles with context on why they are so important for each team
  • Embrace planning from Vision down to Daily level, recognizing the value of continuous planning over following a plan
  • Build a backlog of prioritized stories that provides emergent requirements for analysis that also fosters customer engagement and understanding
  • Engage in more effective estimating (story points) and become more accurate by being less precise
  • Pull together Agile release plans that connect you back to business expectations – including hard date commitments and fixed price models
  • Apply Agile testing strategies based on unit and acceptance testing, which creates a bottom up confirmation that your software works
  • Avoid the top mistakes made when rolling out Agile practices and how to craft an adoption strategy that will work in your organizational culture
