Certifications help in getting the basic understanding of the subject. However with experience, we know, they are not alternate of real-world experience. Real world challenges are way different than any HelloWorld kind of examples. Everything seems to works in such example but in practice, Agile turns out to be mini-waterfall for many teams. Ever wondered why and what’s missing?
This workshop moves a little ahead and focuses on ‘why’, ‘what’ and ‘how’ of everything and goes to roots and foundation of Agile. The result is an in-depth understanding of the Agile world and helps you better prepare in taking the real-world challenges.
Why should you care?
- Everyone has one or another Agile certification anyways. So what happens to be the differentiator in a job interview? It’s your learning and on-the-job experience. The workshop focuses on the learning aspect.
- Are you content with knowing 3 roles, 4 ceremonies, 3 artifacts OR want to know the Agile foundation and want to know how to handle real world challenges where Agile doesn’t seem to work.
- Are you frustrated with HelloWorld kind of examples and are interested more to know real world examples and challenges
- Want to understand ‘Doing the RIGHT thing’ aspect as well OR are content with doing the THING right and efficiently.
