Agile Engineering and Quality Training

The goal of this course is to take a team (Developers, DBAs, Build Engineers, Analysts, Testers, Developers, Architects) through Agile Technical Practices gleaned from methods such as Scrum, eXtreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), OO, Reactive and Functional Programming. The course is 70% hands on programming.

Introduction Course Outline Enroll

Students will start coding almost immediately. We’ll break into small teams and work in short, intense, iterations typically lasting 30 minutes. The course is extremely demanding and requires complete focus by the students in order to finish the material.

Teams learn agile by doing agile and practicing development “micro-cylces” where we design – test (first!) – code – reactor until the sprint is complete.

Teams will walk away with new Team Engineering Norms they can immediately begin to practice.
