The AFC prepares all members of an agile team for the realities of working in a highly collaborative and effective software development environment.
The core of the AFC has been developed by our eminent trainers/coaches in the US over a period of 5 years and customised to suit the local industry needs in India. The course is run as a mock software project in a simulated agile environment by introducing concepts with short lectures. This is followed by team activities to anchor them, thereby, laying emphasis on interaction.
AFC provides the breadth and depth of knowledge team members need to begin working in short iterations to produce working software incrementally. Using hands-on exercises, participants learn how to write effective user stories, estimate in relative units, track velocity and plan releases, create and interpret a variety of information radiators, participate in daily stand-ups, and much more.
Towards the end of the course, participants learn to recognize and correct problems that may arise when making the transition to an agile process.
Topics:
• Incremental and Iterative Processes Overview
• Sprint Simulator
• Agile Team Roles
• Agile Planning
• Team Charter
• Defining and Estimating User Stories
• Prioritizing Backlogs
• Release and Iteration Planning
• Daily Standup Meeting
• Velocity
• Tracking and Reporting
• Key Engineering Practices awareness
• Lean, Kanban capsules
• Valtech Agile Project Case Study
