WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR

Do you have several years of real-life experience with agile software development? Do you also have a genuine interest in going beyond the basics, in deepening your knowledge and sharpening your tools? In that case this course is for you. This is not a course for agile­ beginners or the faint of heart. Expect to do homework, expect to be put through your paces, expect to dialog and argue, expect to have your beliefs challenged.

Learn how agile works, in software or outside of IT.
Learn how to articulate and deal with the weaknesses in agile development.
Test yourself and your partners with the Test-Driven Carpaccio exercise.
Learn to reduce risk and maximize results by viewing design as a Knowledge Acquisition activity.
Practice backing up your recommendations with solid theory, not just an appeal to authority.
Learn how to plan and track larger, more complicated projects using Project Mapping or Blitz Planning (time permitting).

Come face-to-face with yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses, as you confront one situation after another with equally inquisitive classmates.

Alistair Cockburn is one of the initiators of the agile movement in software development, helping write the Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001, the agile PM Declaration of Interdependence in 2005, and co-founding the International Consortium for Agile in 2009 (with Ahmed Sidky and Ash Rofail). He is a principal expositor of the use case for documenting business processes and behavioral requirements for software, and inventor of the Cockburn Scale for categorizing software projects.

Alistair has for many years been an agile trainer and speaker and has now trained in many countries with his Advanced Agile class. He is now world-renowned and in very high demand within the agile field.
