This 2-day (14 hour) course introduces you to what it's like to work as a developer on a Scrum team. Learn about the powerful and popular Scrum Developer Practices, and the synergy gained by combining them.
Practices include Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, Continuous Integration, Collective Code Stewardship, Pair Programming, Incremental Design, and others (depending on time and participant interest).
This course contains guided labs based on many years of actual Agile production software development.
Course includes: printed workbook, light breakfast, full lunch, beverages and snacks.
First, the Scrum framework is covered, with emphasis on how the development team interoperates with the rest of the Scrum team on a daily basis. You will explore techniques for estimating and decomposing product requests, and other developer-specific activities.
You will then form small teams to work on a simulation, in very short sprints, using the provided product backlog. This will support and inform your hands-on exploration of a variety of developer skills and practices.
Includes:
Continuous Integration
Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development
Diligent Refactoring
Incremental Design and Architecture
Pair Programming and/or "Mob"/Ensemble Programming
Various other complementary skills, depending on time and attendee interests. May include Continuous Delivery, Sustainable Pace, CRC cards, and "Buffer Time."
