Course Outline

Agile In a Nutshell

What Agile is, how it works, and how to choose the right Agile method for you.

Agile Teams

What makes the Agile team tick. Characteristics of good Agile teams. And how to find quality players.

User Stories

In this session we break down what user stories are, how they work, what effective user stories look like for your project, and how to host great story gathering work shops.

Estimation

By learning how to estimate the Agile way, you’ll stop trying to get something your up-front estimates can’t give (precision and accuracy) and instead focus on what really matters—building a plan you and your customer can believe in.

Planning

In this session, you’re going to learn how to create plans you can believe in and follow through on commitments you and your team make.

Iteration Mechanics

This session shows teams how to set the iterations up for success, breaks down what actually occurs during an iteration, and how to setup an agile communication plan for you and your team.

Visible Workspaces

By learning how to create a visual workspace, you and the team will never be at a loss for what to do next or where you can add the greatest value.

Engineering

Agile doesn’t work on planning alone. That would be wishful thinking. Only by apply these core software engineering practices can you reduce the time it takes to test, ensure you always have a good design, and confidently make necessary changes with speed.

Unit Testing – Automated tests proving your software works

Refactoring – Paying down technical debt, while continuously improving your design

Test-Driven Development – Write the tests first to help improve your design

Continuous Integration – Maintaining a culture of production readiness, and deploying at a moments notice

Intended Audience

This is an introductory level course on Agile software delivery.
