Five Days Agile Development Practices Workshop

This workshop is targeted at development teams who want to start transitioning to Agile Software Development methods and want to get a first hand feel for what it means to be working on an eXtreme Programming team. In this week long workshop we'll simulate a real world eXtreme Programming environment. Participants will get to experience the following practices in action

Working on a real eXtreme Programming project for a week will help to understand and experience the core fundamentals of Agile Software Development. Concepts like Self-Organized Teams, Adaptive Planning, Cross-functional Teams & Collaboration, Evolutionary Design, Eliminating Waste, etc will be clear.

Learning Outcome

At the end of this training the team will be able to:

  • Understand the thought process and the need for XP practices
  • Identify poorly designed code by using our elaborate code smell vocabulary.
  • Learn various automated refactoring techniques and strategies to carefully clean the identified code smells.
  • Have hands-on experience in practices like TDD, CI and Pair Programming
  • Have experience in authoring User Stories
  • Have clarity about Collective Code Ownership, Informative work spaces, planning game and project retrospectives
