Agile is an approach to software development that has rapidly become mainstream. Incorporating the Agile philosophy into IT organizations has been shown to more rapidly deliver working software, increase quality, and decrease time-to-market. Using a mixture of techniques that together form modern Agile practices such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), user stories, test-driven development, etc, teams can significantly improve their productivity and morale. This Applying Scrum – Agile Principles and Practices training course explains this approach’s values, key techniques, and how each Agile team member contributes to success.

This Certified Agile Service Manager (CASM) Certification training course provides an introduction to Agile Service Management – the application and integration of agile thinking into service management processes and process design projects.

This Introduction to Agile Architecture Training course examines the relationship between the Agile methodology and the practice of Architecture. It is a mixture of lectures and exercises. The lectures provide instruction on the concepts and open up meaningful discussions; the exercises have students work through a case study to help deepen their knowledge. The course begins with defining what the Agile methodology and the practice of Architecture are and continues by looking at their strengths and weakness. An apparent dichotomy exists, and an exploration of industry practices demonstrate possible ways to resolve the conflict. The course ends by looking at how the best of both may be achievable.

This Improving Agility – Beyond Technical Excellence training course is designed for technical teams looking to improve their performance beyond that of technical excellence.  The course will explore agility beyond the development of software, looking at team dynamics, communication and visibility, product ownership, working with the client, agile workspaces and look at the impact of agile software delivery on the wider organisation and how you can work with inter-related teams in an agile way.

In this Agile Testing with Acceptance Test Driven Design (ATDD) and Behavior Driven Development (BDD) training course you will learn how to build quality into your product, while controlling scope and avoiding duplicated efforts. We will learn how to apply a ‘whole-team’ approach to quality and how to orchestrate feedback from your tests in order to be extremely effective. We will learn why the traditional approaches to test automation don’t yield the returns we require and why these approaches do not increase quality despite, being expensive and costly to maintain.

This Agile Product Owner Enablement training course explores the responsibilities and expectations of the Product Owner role. Students will learn how a Product Owner can infuse business priorities, goals, and vision, into a development team and thereby build highly functional systems.
