Course Modules

  • Module 1 – Origins of Agile
    Many people entering the Agile world see the Agile Manifesto as the beginning of the world, where it was really the summing up of much previous work. Anchor the ideas of Agile development in earlier work, giving the learners continuity from the past to the present.
  • Module 2 – Agile Manifesto
    The 2001 Manifesto for Agile Software Development is still the anchor document for all forms of Agile development. Make clear that the Agile Manifesto is a set of values, not a prescription for a process. Also, learners should be introduced to the fact that the values on the left are preferable to those on the right.
  • Module 3 – Understanding the Agile Mindset
    Many people come to Agile looking for “the Agile process”. However, while some processes and methodologies may be more supportive or common in Agile organizations than others, the mindset must come first. Introduce Agile as a mindset and explain that agility is achieved through both “being” and “doing” Agile. The Agile mindset is characterized by things like valuing early failure for learning, collaboration, continuous improvement, continuous discovery, etc.
  • Module 4 – Establishing the Agile Mindset
    Experiencing the Agile mindset is the best way to establish it in a learner. It allows the learner to experience situations in which the Agile mindset is likely to be different from their current way of working, so the learner can internalize the difference through experience and not just in concept.
  • Module 5 – Incremental Development
    One anchor of Agile development is incremental development. Introduce the concept and value of incremental development, and how it differs from effort-based or task-based management.
  • Module 6 – Value-Based Work
    Many people, even understanding the idea of incremental development can’t see how to break work into small, value-centered work items and track their progress. Develop and practice techniques for breaking problems into value-based parts and tracking progress against them.
  • Module 7 – Retaining Quality
    It is easy to lose sight of the cost of rework in incremental-iterative development. Introduce and highlight why Agile developers need to keep an eye
  • Module 8 – The Scrum Framework

Workshop focus differentiating DONE and UNDONE but also bring discussion about Technical Debts.Participants has to learn meaning of DONE increment by defining definition in workshop.

Trainer Piyush

 4.5

A passionate Lean-Agile Coach with over 15 years of experience, I work with professionals, teams and organizations helping them in their pursuit of agility. I also work with Management and CoEs within an organization to build and drive agile transformation strategies at various levels within the organization. I support multiple scrum teams and enable them to become self-organizing units. Help them to identify challenges, dysfunctions and facilitate them to overcome those challenges. I mentor, teach and coach Scrum Masters, Development Team, Product Owners and Business professionals to understand agility and make the best use of it. I also facilitate various initiatives like brown bag session, practice guilds, hackathons etc. which help teams to focus on improving various aspects starting right from technology to process. Having spent more than half of my career as developer, I understand the value of creating quality software. This works as a guidance for me when I work with teams and enable them with practices like clean code, pair programming, TDD etc. and make them realize the benefits of quality software delivery. As a Professional Scrum Trainer with Scrum.org, ICAgile Authorized Instructor and SAFe Program Consultant (SPC 5.0) with Scaled Agile, I bring in my experience from consulting and coaching to train professionals on agile values, principles and frameworks like Scrum, SAFe, Kanban and Agile Coaching. So far have trained over 1000 happy professionals. My trainings are focused on value delivery rather than content completion. I understand that adults learn in a different way and hence I make use of different techniques like creating visualizations, connecting context, concrete practice etc. to ensure that participants not just learn but understand the concepts.
