K250-N: Practical Agile Development and Test Driven Development

Course length: 4 Days | Tuition: $2200.00

Course Description

Practical Agile Development training course is a hands-on experience with agile software development. Attendees learn about various agile practices, including techniques from extreme programming (XP) and Scrum. Techniques are taught through a series of group and programming exercises that demonstrate how each core practice actually works. Students will learn how to mesh these practices into a complete and coherent process. Attendees should be prepared to work as part of a team. All exercises are executed with two people actively pair-developing at single workstations. Combining Scrum with proven agile programming techniques makes for an ideal development methodology. This winning agile combination is used in all kinds of software development shops, including Fortune 500 companies, dot-coms, product development companies, and government. When applied properly, agile software development results in dramatic improvements in software quality and ability to meet customer demand.
