Description of Course, Including Major Objectives
Learn what agile is all about and how it has been applied successfully in the real-world during this 2-day course. No ivory tower discussions here! Just hard core agile with a running case study to apply what you’ve learned. Learn about agile principles, myths, SCRUM, Kanban, eXtreme Programming, Test-driven Development, and much more. Successful completion of this course results in a Certified Agile Professional designation from the ICAgile™ certification body.
Organizations today are seeking ways to improve the efficiency of their software development efforts while still meeting quality objectives. Competitive pressures and customer demands continue to reduce software product release schedules, driving organizations to seek fresh new approaches to building software. Agile software development methods are often cited as a way to accelerate software delivery and get more done with less. This course will teach you how to avoid the common mistakes of agile adopters and answer some of the familiar myths and misuse:
· Believing that agile says you don’t need to document your software
· Forgetting about doing unit testing as part of the development process
· Adopting Scrum without adopting appropriate agile development practices as well
· Believing that agile means you don’t need to do architecture or design when building software
Fundamentals of Agile Certification—ICAgile™ will present a roadmap for how to get started with agile along with practical advice. It will introduce you to agile software development concepts and teach you how to make them work. You will learn what agile is all about, why agile works, and how to effectively plan and develop software using agile principles. A running case study allows you to apply the techniques you are learning as you go through the course. Key concepts that will be introduced and discussed include:
· Managing requirements using agile
· Defining and estimating user stories
· Building a release plan
· Using Scrum-based project management
· Delivering software using Extreme Programming
Bring your specific issues and problems to the training course for discussion as well.
*This class is a prerequisite course to any of the ICAgile™ Tracks, including Certification in Agile Testing.
Who Should Attend The audience includes software developers, software test professionals, project managers, business analysts, product managers, line of business owners. No specific prerequisites are assumed; however, attendees are expected to have some software experience.
Course Completion and Certification Upon completion of this course the attendee will be certified by the International Consortium of Agile (ICAgile™) and awarded the ICAgile™ Professional designation. Additionally, the certified attendees will be listed on the ICAgile™ website, indicating their Professional designation and that they have completed all the learning objectives associated with the Fundamentals of Agile track. This class is a prerequisite course to any of the ICAgile™ Tracks, including Certification in Agile Testing. PMI Certification holders are also eligible for 15 PDUs for attending this course.
