Course Overview
This intensive three-day program provides a highly
interactive exploration of Agile principles and practices. Participants learn how Agile roles relate to
traditional project roles, study Agile planning and estimation, then drill down
on both short-term and long-term planning in successful Agile projects.
To give a real world sense of Agile at work, the boot camp
uses a hands-on simulation of the Scrum project lifecycle, teaching key Scrum
terminology, concepts and practices. In the project simulation, participants:
- Learn
the Scrum software development lifecycle
- Explore
Scrum project tracking and reporting, examining different approaches to
measuring and communicating project performance and quality
- Practice
techniques necessary to create highly productive Scrum teams
Agenda
- An Introduction to Agile: A hands-on
simulation teaches key Agile concepts and demonstrates the superior
performance and control Agile can offer over traditional software
development.
- The Agile Life Cycle: Learn specific
roles, ceremonies, and deliverables essential to Scrum, including an
overview of how Agile projects are run and managed in “iterations.”
- Requirements and Documentation: Study
the use of lightweight "stories" to manage requirements, improve
flexibility and keep the team focused on business value.
- Estimating and Planning: A look at
Agile’s ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances. See how individuals use a prioritized
product backlog to deliver the highest value first while retaining maximum
flexibility to adjust plans based on knowledge gained throughout the
project.
- Tracking and Reporting: Using a
powerful set of empirical tracking tools, participants learn how to
clearly communicate progress and enable good decision-making in an Agile
environment.
