Agile Boot Camp<br />

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 />
