Two Days Project Automation Workshop

What's it About

Project Automation for Agile Success

Concerned about your team’s performance? Looking for ways to enhance your team’s productivity and getting rid of all those mundane tasks? Years of consulting and building products have thought us that Automation is the key to improving team’s productivity and bringing joy back to software development.

This workshop is tailored for teams who want to seriously start looking at automating as much as possible on their projects. This workshop provides a quick hands-on experience to all the activities that typically take place during Iteration 0 or Set Up Iteration on an eXtreme Programming project. This is a 100% hands-on workshop where participants will setup and configure various servers and frameworks typically required on a project.

We offer a variety of training courses which are tailored to suit your development team. Our courses are anything but “by-the-book” rehashes of readily available scripts. Our immersive, fun filled hands-on approach and our wealth of practical knowledge gained from years of software development experience, ensures that the time you spend with us is a rewarding learning experience.

We are in the business of training & coaching teams and we strive to make it efficient, effective and enjoyable.It is unrealistic to claim that a single training program will make you the master of a subject. Trust us, shortcuts are not sustainable! Hence our unique training courses are created to quickly put you on the path of self-learning and continuous improvement. We can get you kick-started!

What our Clients say

See how the trainings have benefited our clients.
"Inversion of Software Development", that's what Naresh gave me through his 5 days workshop at Amazon. He is one of the best mentors I encountered in my career.

The way he tries to explain TDD and Design principles with practical approaches, always challenging the concepts which we used to think were industry standards. Learning through his workshop, now coding is like blogging, drop dead simple, and you don't look back.

I hope we had more dojos like Naresh mentoring people in Indian Software Industries to let them know what real clean software development is all about. To sum up he instilled the idea - "Perfection isn't the goal, it's the baseline." about software development in me.

It's been 3 weeks since I had the opportunity to attend a 3-Day TDD workshop followed by a 3-Day Design Patterns workshop by Naresh Jain. Post the workshops; I was able to fully test drive a feature that is already in production.

I had many take-away from his workshops, but the most important ones were - 1. It gave me the confidence that with TDD you can come up with good designs, 2. Learnt refactoring techniques and IDE tricks, 3. Got a deeper understanding of design values, principles and patterns. 4. Identifying code smells (the codes that I was proud of, now all I see there is code smells :P). But thanks to Naresh I know how to make it right.

I recently met Naresh Jain during Test Driven Development(TDD) training at my current organisation. He is very knowledgeable and also very effective as a trainer. His enthusiasm and confidence is a game-changer when it comes to motivating the workshop participants.

I've really benefited from his training and by applying TDD in my day-to-day work . It was a great experience and I wish, I could get a chance to work with him on a real project.
Lokesh Gaur
 Technical Lead,Samsung Research
Rarely have I met a trainer who was truly hands-on. The depth of knowledge and on-field experience of Naresh Jain is truly inspiring. His proficiency in agile techniques and TDD is bleeding edge.

We have benefited immensely in barely three days of TDD training with him. We wish he was on our team here in EMC2.

Recently I attended Naresh's workshop on Test Driven Development (TDD) at Amazon, Hyderabad. It was a great learning experience and an eye-opener in few cases. He is very involved with the Agile community and has worked with a lot of industry experts. That's the best part of getting trained by him. He is up-to-date with the latest trends and his skills are very relevant.

Naresh's in-depth knowledge and great attitude, fueled by his passion for technology makes him a great techie to work with. I had a great experience and would highly recommend him for training/coaching or even just to have good discussions.
