Please contact Rachel Kjack for more information.</p> <p>Course Overview James Shore, Gordon Pask Award recipient and co-author The Art of Agile Development, is bringing the practical wisdom of his best-selling book into the classroom. In this course, you'll learn everything you need to know about agile delivery: incrementally exploring requirements; using test-driven development and refactoring; involving customers and writing customer tests; how incremental design and architecture really work; involving testers, conducting exploratory testing, and creating code without bugs; automated builds and continuous integration; delivering software that's "done done" and ready to ship.</p> <p>James is joined by Diana Larsen, Agile Alliance chair and co-author of the acclaimed Agile Retrospectives. Together, they provide the highest level of agile experience and expertise.</p> <p>This course isn't just for programmers! Agile development works best with a cross-functional team, so we built a cross-functional course. During some segments, we'll have everyone work together in cross-functional teams. During others, we'll split into functional groups and take a deep dive into issues like test-driven development and product management.</p> <p>Who Should Attend/Prerequisites This course isn't just for programmers! Agile development is cross-functional and so is this course. Everyone who's part of an agile team (or wants to be) will benefit: programmers, designers, and architects; on-site customers, product managers, domain experts, business analysts, interaction designers, and testers; coaches, technical leads, and project managers. But don't worry: we have an innovative course structure that ensures plenty of technical depth for programmers... without boring everyone else!</p> <p>No prior Agile experience is required, but even experienced practitioners will learn new skills.</p> <p>Attend this course if: Your stakeholders have strong opinions... and they're all different</p> <p>Testers are overloaded at the end of each iteration or Sprint</p> <p>Your build takes too long or breaks more than once per month</p> <p>You finish stories, find bugs, finish them again, find bugs, finish them again...</p> <p>You have to schedule stories for refactoring and technical infrastructure</p> <p>You wonder how pair programming could possibly be a good idea</p> <p>You aren't experiencing any of these problems... and you want to keep it that way!</p> <p>Agenda We will cover the following agile practices: Preventing Defects ("No Bugs")</p> <p>Ten-Minute Build and Build Automation</p> <p>Continuous Integration</p> <p>Incremental Requirements</p> <p>Customer Tests</p> <p>Test-Driven Development</p> <p>Refactoring</p> <p>Simple Design</p> <p>Incremental Design and Architecture</p> <p>Exploratory Testing We will also discuss: Pair Programming</p> <p>Ubiquitous Language</p> <p>Stand-Up Meetings</p> <p>Coding Standards</p> <p>Iteration Demos</p> <p>"Done Done"</p> <p>Version Control</p> <p>Collective Code Ownership</p> <p>Documentation</p> <p>Slack</p> <p>Spike Solutions</p> <p>Performance Optimization</p> <p>This training opportunity is funded, in part, with Employer Workforce Training Funds administered by the Oregon Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development.</p> <p>Contact Rachel Kjack for more information at <a href="mailto:rachel.kjack@sao.org">rachel.kjack@sao.org</a> or 503-228-5419</p> <hr> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://db.sao.org/calendar2/event_description.htm?eventID=10/29/08ta">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
