Jim Shore & Diana Larsen - The Art of Agile Planning (AGILE-PLANNING-01-02)

CODE: AGILE-PLANNING-01-02 DURATION: 2 DAY/S

Based on James Shore's popular book, "The Art of Agile Development", and co-taught with industry veteran Diana Larsen (chair of the Agile Alliance board and co-author of the acclaimed "Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great!"), this two day course will give you the hands-on experience and skill-building you need to understand and apply fundamentals of agile planning and accelerate your adoption and practice of agile development.

Jim and Diana bring their deep subject matter expertise in agile planning and development to lead you through a balance of content introduction, instruction, and skill-based practice to reinforce learning and application.
