Agile Kickstart

For those who wish to improve the quality of their output and to deliver code that achieves business results, Code Sprinters now offers a customized training program for your development team called Agile Kickstart.

REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE

Agile Kickstart is the result of years of experience writing code according to agile methods. We know these management principles and technical practices very well, and we have earned multiple certifications in agile and in agile training. Now we offer you the opportunity to unlock the power of agile for your own development team.

When you are ready, give us a call.

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN

We have created Agile Kickstart exclusively for a single development team of up to 12 people. It is a comprehensive three-day training program designed so that your team actually begins its first agile iteration on one of your own projects.

The first two days provide intense instruction as well as hands-on practical exercises based on your particular requirements. Code Sprinters then counsels your team as they plan their first agile iteration - their first sprint. The moment that we depart, your team begins their first sprint on one of your own projects.

The third and final day occurs some weeks later, after your team has completed at least two sprints. This third day is essential to ensure that instruction has been transformed into best practice. We lead your team in a retrospective examination of the first two sprints: strengths, challenges, solutions. This is our guarantee of quality agile results.

CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR TEAM

Agile Kickstart is a unique experience tailored to your particular requirements. This means that before we plan your training program, we will speak with you about important characteristics of your company, such as the types of projects, the programming domain and your team composition. We will discuss challenges your team faces and problems you want to solve.

Agile Kickstart topics include:

  • Introduction to agility
  • Scrum in a nutshell
  • Agile tech practices
  • Agile estimating and planning
  • Backlog management
  • Retrospectives
  • Tools for an agile team
  • Object-oriented design in agile development
  • Design patterns and wise use of frameworks

Another unique attribute of Agile Kickstart is our trainers: both are Certified Scrum Masters and both work full time on software projects. Our experience indicates that the best trainers are those who are dedicated to hands-on practical work.

Each Agile Kickstart program is attended by two certified trainers, and they work together to train and coach your team. And we come to you. Agile Kickstart is delivered on-site, in familiar surroundings.

Customization is key. Agile Kickstart is a bespoke training program in which Code Sprinters invests considerable effort to plan in advance. Consequently, access to Agile Kickstart is limited throughout the year: first come, first served. Please contact us today to discuss scheduling.
