Adopting Agile Software Development Training From Modulus Training
Sponsored links
Managing Agile Software Development is a four day, dynamic workshop designed to provide project stakeholders with an in depth review of the Agile software development process, arming students with the skills required to execute these principles and practices in a practical manner, right after the course ends.
When new software has to be created and operational in a matter of days, rather than months, the standard linear waterfall development process can easily bottleneck these critical projects. The more current agile development approach is an excellent alternative to the linear process. Emphasizing user involvement and lightweight process, the agile approach provides software designers and developers with the means to create high quality, low defect applications that can be implemented in the minimum timeframes.
This course is designed for managers, programmers, developers, executives, and anyone interested in learning the benefits of and how to execute agile development practices, this course explores:
The concept of development agility and the Agile Manifesto
Each of the major agile development methods underscoring their strengths and weaknesses
How to manage an agile environment even within a structured organizational approach
How to introduce agility into a development organization
