Goals and Targets

The ultimate goal of this training is to reinforce your existing knowledge about agile software development and to put it into the context of modern software engineering and DevOps. In this training, we will create a generalized blueprint and a set of best practices for your daily operations.

After completing this training you will be able to discuss and introduce reasonable improvements to your existing processes and daily workflows.

Note: In the training, we are building upon the Engineering Management role, defined as a technical leader and representative of the self-organizing team. Benefits and drawbacks are explained in Part 1: Theory.

Organization

The training is split into two half-day blocks: Theory and Best Practices. It can take place online, in the evening at your office, or as a one-day off-site get-together.

Part 1: Theory

Part 2: Best Practices

The teams compete to find the smartest and most complete solution to the given challenges. Examples can be adjusted to your organization's context and normally include:
