Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this agile training:

In this powerful one-day course, you'll grasp the concepts, principles, and methods for Agile projects and become empowered to execute on your plans for incorporating Agile practices and techniques into your organization.

A common misconception is that Agility means lack of order or discipline. This is simply not the case. Those who try to incorporate an Agile methodology or practice with an expectation of shedding the discipline are on a path to failure. Agility requires strong discipline. In order to successfully create Agility, you must have a solid foundation in the practices and procedures you wish to adapt and learn how to follow those practices correctly while tying them to rigid quality goals.

This Introduction to Agile training will give you the foundation of knowledge and experience you need to begin. This course is a starting point for you to acquire the techniques, skills, and tools that enable you to build an Agile discipline.

In addition to defining Agile principles, we will cover the advantages of Agile development. Learn about organizing and participating in an agile team, and understand the practices of the most popular Agile technique. Understand and learn how to take advantage of the opportunities for Agile. Finally, gain an understanding and practice the collaboration and communication needed between customers and developers for Agile to succeed.

  • Understand Agile values and principles, and how to build the discipline to support those principles in your everyday practice
  • Appreciate the history of Agile and how the collection of principles and practices came together to enable customer success
  • Examine Agile methods, including Scrum, Extreme Programming, Lean Software Development, Kanban
  • Draw best practices from the various methodologies that will contribute to your team success
  • Talk the talk: learning the Agile terminology, roles and forums with their context
  • Walk through the processes that support Agile principles to enable the delivery of great products
  • Discover the power of Agile teams through communication, collaboration and cadence
  • Lay the foundation upon which you can build
