Practitioner's Real-World Solutions<br />
NEW!<br />
Summary<br />
Planning, roadmap, backlog, estimating, user<br />
stories, and iteration execution. Bring your team<br />
together & jump start your Agile practice<br />
There’s more to Agile development than simply a<br />
different style of programming. That’s often the easy<br />
part. An effective Agile implementation changes your<br />
methods for: requirements gathering, project<br />
estimation and planning, team leadership, producing<br />
high-quality software, working with your stakeholders<br />
and customers and team development. While not a<br />
silver bullet, the Agile framework is quickly becoming<br />
the most practical way to create outstanding software.<br />
We’ll explore the leading approaches of today’s most<br />
successful Agile teams. You’ll learn the basic premises<br />
and techniques behind Agile so you can apply them to<br />
your projects.<br />
Hands-on team exercises follow every section of<br />
this class. Learn techniques and put them into<br />
practice before you get back to the office.<br />
