Scrum, Extreme Programming, Lean, Feature Driven Development and other
methods each have their strengths. While there are significant
similarities under the Agile umbrella, each method brings specific
tools for team success. Rarely do organizations adopt one methodology
in its pure form. Rather, success is achieved by combining best
practices.In this three-day Agile Boot Camp, you will put the skills,
tools and techniques you are taught to work. The classroom will be
broken up into Agile teams and an expert instructor will drive each
team through the Agile process: from vision down to daily planning and
execution. Your instructor will answer questions with real-world
experience, as all of our instructors have Agile experience “in the
trenches.” You will leave the class with practical knowledge and a
clear roadmap for success.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
● Structure a team with generalizing specialists so the team can
develop working software incrementally.
● Practice and maintain a regular cadence when delivering working
software each iteration.
● Follow the team approach; start as a team, finish as a team —
and focus on delivering value to the organization.
● Gain knowledge and understanding of Agile principles and why they
are so important for each team.
● Embrace the five levels of planning and recognize the value of
continuous planning.
● Build a backlog of prioritized and estimated user stories that
provides emergent requirements for analysis and foster customer
engagement and understanding.
● Engage in more effective estimating (story points) and become more
accurate by being less precise.
● Create accurate Agile release plans that connect you back to
business expectations – including hard date commitments and fixed
price models.
