This intensive, hands-on boot camp teaches teams how to integrate agile development, test-driven development (TDD), applying object-oriented (OO) design principles and practices, design patterns, refactoring and continuous integration (CI) into the development process in order to fully harness the power of modern best practices to create the most valuable software possible.
If your organization wants to learn Agile by doing Agile, this is the course! It can be customized to any Agile implementation you choose (SAFE, SCRUM, XP, Lean, etc.). As a boot camp, at least 70 percent of class time is spent in hands on programming.
Note: The course length can be customized to fit your team’s availability.
