Agile Practical Techniques
Using
Agile frameworks and techniques usage will impact your development outcomes in
positive and significant ways. However, incorporating Agile practices and methods
into your culture effectively and supporting your objectives require
understanding what changes are necessary to your current way of doing
things.
DCG's two and half day Agile Practical Techniques Workshop is designed to help you learn the simple and powerful software social dynamics available in the Agile way of doing things and how to apply them in your business workstreams and culture.
Available exclusively as a 2 1/2 day on-site course

“The Training Center is extremely pleased with the Agile workshop DCG conducted. Bravo and Congratulations. Uniquely crafted to fit our needs, this will help us apply Agile the right way to major Government initiatives advancing our ability to deliver value for our clients, the taxpayer.”
Head of Training, US Government AgencyFrom the Agile Manifesto: We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value
the items on the left more.
“When our IT staff wanted to learn about Agile techniques and incorporate best practices from Agile, we called upon DCG to help us tailor our current methodology and to train the IT team. Tom Cagley came on site and analyzed our processes then created a custom curriculum for my team. Tom delivered a 3 day training class that was suitable for Product Owners, Business Analysts, Project Managers, Application Developers, and Testers. The training was inexpensively delivered at our location.
Immediately following the three days of training, we trialed this methodology for a project to develop a new application, and it has been a relatively smooth transition from our old way of doing projects. DCG gave us the tools and information we needed to improve our project delivery. And they did it in a cost-effective, engaging, and stimulating class. We were able to train our entire staff of 40 people in two 3-day sessions.
I highly recommend DCG to help you transition to Agile.”
