Despite the widespread success of agile development practices, success is limited if agile practices do not reach beyond development teams to deploy products delivering measurable value. Scalability, continuous integration, and ongoing maintenance in the production environment are just as critical to organizational success as the development effort itself. This two-day class (three-day live online) teaches agile skills which can be applied to both development and every other role in the value chain of a product or feature. This class will increase the agility and effectiveness of anyone who plays a part in delivering, deploying or maintaining agile projects.
