Agile Engineering Fast Track

Course Summary

The Agile Engineering is designed to illustrate the integration of Agile development. It begins by discussing Agile, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and OO principles. It then dives into applying design patterns and Unified Modeling Language (UML), using commonality, variances, and delegation. The course concludes with a demonstration of how to manage access and responsibilities.

The course can be customized to any Agile implementation chosen: Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), SCRUM, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, and more.

Pre-requisites: This course assumes prior programming experience. We recommend six months of experience with an Object-Oriented (OO) language, such as Java, C#, VB.net, or C++.
