TP2658 Agile Engineering and Quality Training
Online Virtual Class
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.
Objectives
• Learn to code the agile way
• Increase predictability and time to market with less stress on your team
• Practice agile by doing agile
• Understand and codify quality and engineering excellence
• Comprehend the purpose of Object Oriented, Functional, and Reactive Programming
• Discover key techniques for increasing your team’s effectiveness
• How to tune and customize agile in your organization
• Where and when to design as you iterate
• Train to learn transparent, accurate, communication with customers and leadership
• Hands-on, practical mocking
• The intent of microservices and why design / architecture are critical to success in Agile
• How to increase predictability and deliver more consistently
• Unleash your teams to remove impediments and improve performance
• Create a culture of pride and software development expertise
