Get Lined Up for Two Certifications While You
Dive Deeper Into Agile Methods
This three-day ScrumMaster certification course provides everything you need
to begin leading or participating in a Scrum team. You will learn the essential
concepts and tools of Scrum, differences between agile processes and traditional
“waterfall” methodologies, and how to build a roadmap for adopting agile at your
organization. Participants will learn how to lead development teams towards agile
operations by managing product backlogs, planning releases and sprints, tracking
and reporting progress, and conducting retrospectives.
In this interactive training, you’ll spend the first day learning the impact and
history of the agile movement. We’ll introduce all of the major agile practices,
specifically eXtreme Programming, Lean, DSDM, Crystal, Kanban, and of course
Scrum. In the second part of the intensive training, we’ll move from the why
to the how with the ScrumMaster Certification training. On the third day, we
will round out the material by covering agile project management with Kanban
and agile software development with XP. This course goes well beyond the
basics to equip students with the practical advice, real world examples, and
simulation exercises necessary to transition traditional project managers into
agile project managers. You’ll not only leave the three-day training with a greater
understanding of the agile movement and knowledge towards Scrum and PMI-
ACP™ certifications, but also with a new confidence in your skills as a project
leader and a new network of fellow agile practitioners.
Who Should Attend
Product and line managers, project managers, developers, testers, business
analysts, and anyone interested in learning more about Scrum and agile methods.
Course Completion and Certification
Successful attendees receive Scrum training materials and a 12-month membership
in the Scrum Alliance and are eligible to take an exam that will qualify them as

some of the familiar myths and misuse.
Fundamentals of Agile will present a roadmap for how to get started with agile
along with practical advice. It will introduce you to agile software development
concepts and teach you how to make them work. You will learn what agile is
all about, why agile works, and how to effectively plan and develop software
using agile principles. A running case study allows you to apply the techniques
you are learning as you go through the course. Key concepts that will be
introduced and discussed include:
• Managing requirements using agile
• Defining and estimating user stories
• Building a release plan

Choosing the right tools
Evaluate your automation effort
$ Understand how test automation fits into agile iterations
$ Learn how to automate functional regression tests in an agile environment
$ Know how to design automated tests for maximum effectiveness
$ Keep your testing efforts in sync with iterations
Agile teams deliver “potentially” shippable software at the end
of every iteration (one to four weeks), or even possibly every day.
This goal can’t be achieved without automated tests and many
teams struggle with test automation. The challenge of automating
functional regression tests frightens many testers, who feel their
skills aren’t up to the job. How do we deliver good quality when we
have to release so often?
By combining a collaborative team approach with appropriate tools
and design approaches, over time you can not only automate your
regression tests, but also use automation to enhance exploratory
testing. In this interactive tutorial, Janet Gregory describes how to
use automation early and guide development, what tests should
be automated, and works through ways to overcome common
barriers to automation. Janet will use examples to learn how to
design automated tests for maximum effectiveness and ease of
maintenance. Find out different approaches for evaluating and
implementing automated test tools, shortening feedback cycles,
creating realistic test data, and evaluating your automation efforts.
By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to fit automation
activities within each iteration so that testing “keeps up” with coding.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for anyone who is either planning to
automate or is struggling with automation in their agile project. No
technical skills or experience are required; all technical concepts
will be explained. Basic knowledge of agile methodology is a
definite asset.

Learn Agile and Prepare for the PMI-ACPSM
Agile development methods remove the barriers between
your customers and the development team. Using agile, your
organization will more easily meet market and customer needs
and attain its ROI objectives, while improving the quality of life and
productivity for all members of your team.
The PMI-ACPSM
certification is designed to help you gain a
comprehensive understanding of agile. The PMI-ACPSM
requires the
candidate to have 2,000 hours of general project management
experience, 1,500 hours of agile project management experience,
21 training hours in an agile specific curriculum, and pass the PMI-
ACPSM
certification exam.
This course will satisfy all of the training requirements for the exam.
After taking this course, students will have the strong foundation
needed to begin preparing for the certification exam.
This course is taught by instructors who were independent
reviewers of the curriculum as it was being developed. There were
only a few of these independent reviewers of the PMI-ACPSM
. It was
our job to modify, revise, update, or delete elements to ensure that
it was comprehensive, contemporary (reflective of current practice),
concise, and clear.
Who Should Attend/Prerequisites
Although this prep course is primarily targeted towards project
management professionals interested in achieving the PMI-
ACPSM
certification, it could benefit many others. It is an effective
foundation for anyone interested in adopting and leveraging
agile techniques, including product and line managers, program
managers, IT managers, or senior technicians.

Course Retrospective
Essential Test-Driven Development is a 3-day course for developers,
providing hands-on experience with the techniques of Test-Driven
Development (TDD). This course is designed for experienced
developers who are comfortable with their programming language
and the basics of object-oriented design. Attendees learn the
techniques of test-first, refactoring, mock objects, and others. They
learn how these techniques provide and maintain a very low defect-
count, plus why TDD helps developers work fearlessly, swiftly, and
comfortably on new features and bug-fixes. Attendees will also learn
how to work on legacy code: building test-coverage for critical areas
and protecting areas of the legacy system that do not yet require
any alteration.
This set of practices for developers is at the heart of low-defect
agile software development. These techniques allow incremental
development and Emergent Design to flourish, without degrading
quality. This course also contains a significant section on the not-
so-pleasant task of adding unit tests to legacy code. The course is
currently offered in Java, Javascript, C#, VB.net, or C++.
Who Should Attend/Prerequisites
This is an intermediate to experienced level course intended for
software developers. Attendees should have competence with either
the Java, VB.net, C++, or C# programming languages, a familiarity
with basic object-oriented principles of design, and a basic
familiarity with an agile process such as Scrum or XP.
This course involves hands-on programming. Please bring
a laptop with your IDE loaded. If you have any difficulty
bringing a laptop, please let us know immediately.
