OVERVIEW

When a new system or new functionality for an existing system must be created and fully operational in days rather than months, the old waterfall processes become a bottleneck. As an alternative, modern Agile Development approaches produce high-quality, low-defect applications that are implemented in short, fixed timeframes. Emphasizing user involvement and lightweight process, the agile approaches offer an alternative method to development of software

Agile Development Essentials is a one-day event designed to provide project stakeholders new to Agile with an in-depth review and baseline understanding of Agile Development, and the benefits it can bring to the IT, software development or DevOps oriented enterprise. Throughout the course you’ll learn key concepts by exploring plenty of real-world, practical business examples, success (and failure!) stories, and related case studies. You’ll leave this course easily conversant in essential the Agile skills and strategies that surrounding and support Agile development.
