In this 2-day discovery-filled course,

• Learn how agile works, in software or outside of it,
• Learn how to articulate and deal with the weaknesses in agile development,
• Test yourself and your partners with the Test-Driven Carpaccio exercise.
• Learn to reduce risk and maximize results by viewing design as a Knowledge Acquisition activity.
• Practice backing up your recommendations with solid theory, not just an appeal to authority,
• Learn how to plan and track larger, more complicated projects using Project Mapping or Blitz Planning (time permitting),

•  Come face-to-face with yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses, as you confront one situation after another with equally inquisitive classmates.

Who should attend? This is the course for you and are ready for a deep dive into what agile development is all about. If you have been doing agile development for 1-5 years and want to amp up your capabilities to the next level. It is not an intro to agile, basic of Scrum, CSM or project management, this is a course for those who want to inquire and get themselves ready for whatever comes next. This is the advanced course in agile development from industry guru Dr. Alistair Cockburn.
