In this course\, you'll learn everything you need to know about agi le delivery: incrementally exploring requirements\; using test-driven de velopment and refactoring\; involving customers and writing customer tes ts\; how incremental design and architecture really work\; involving tes ters\, conducting exploratory testing\, and creating code without bugs\; automated builds and continuous integration\; delivering software that' s "\;done done"\; and ready to ship. \;\n \;\nJames is joi ned by Diana Larsen\, Agile Alliance chair and co-author of the acclaime d Agile Retrospectives. Together\, they provide the highest level of agi le experience and expertise. \;\n \;\nThis course isn't just for p rogrammers! 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. \;\n \;\nWho Should At tend/Prerequisites \;\nThis course isn't just for programmers! Agile development is cross-functional and so is this course. Everyone who's pa rt of an agile team (or wants to be) will benefit: programmers\, designe rs\, and architects\; on-site customers\, product managers\, domain expe rts\, business analysts\, interaction designers\, and testers\; coaches\ , technical leads\, and project managers. But don't worry: we have an in novative course structure that ensures plenty of technical depth for pro grammers... without boring everyone else! \;\n \;\nNo prior Agile experience is required\, but even experienced practitioners will learn n ew skills. \;\n \;\nAttend this course if: \;\nYour stakeholder s have strong opinions... and they're all different \;\n \;\nTeste rs are overloaded at the end of each iteration or Sprint \;\n \;\n Your build takes too long or breaks more than once per month \;\n \;\nYou finish stories\, find bugs\, finish them again\, find bugs\, fin ish them again... \;\n \;\nYou have to schedule stories for refact oring and technical infrastructure \;\n \;\nYou wonder how pair pr ogramming could possibly be a good idea \;\n \;\nYou aren't experi encing any of these problems... and you want to keep it that way! \;\ n \;\n \;\nAgenda \;\nWe will cover the following agile practic es: \;\nPreventing Defects ("\;No Bugs"\;) \;\n \;\nTen -Minute Build and Build Automation \;\n \;\nContinuous Integration \;\n \;\nIncremental Requirements \;\n \;\nCustomer Tests&# 13\;\n \;\nTest-Driven Development \;\n \;\nRefactoring \;\n \;\nSimple Design \;\n \;\nIncremental Design and Architecture \;\n \;\nExploratory Testing \;\nWe will also discuss: \; \nPair Programming \;\n \;\nUbiquitous Language \;\n \;\nSta nd-Up Meetings \;\n \;\nCoding Standards \;\n \;\nIteration Demos \;\n \;\n"\;Done Done"\; \;\n \;\nVersion Cont rol \;\n \;\nCollective Code Ownership \;\n \;\nDocumentatio n \;\n \;\nSlack \;\n \;\nSpike Solutions \;\n \;\nPer formance Optimization \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nThis traini ng opportunity is funded\, in part\, with Employer Workforce Training Fu nds administered by the Oregon Department of Community Colleges and Work force Development. \;\n \;\nContact Rachel Kjack for more informa tion at rachel.kjack@sao.org or 503-228-5419 \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- \;\n \;\n \;\n\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250455991 URL:https://db.sao.org/calendar2/event_description.htm?eventID=10/29/08ta SUMMARY:SAO: The Art of Agile Delivery LOCATION:Sentinel Hotel: 614 Southwest 11th Avenue\, Portland Oregon 9720 5 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
