Planning complex software projects, organizing the work, and tracking the progress aren’t straightforward tasks. There are many moving parts, and to make matters worse, the team setup and the original goals may change over time.
How do we deal with this complexity and unpredictability?
Over the years, with the increasing need for software systems, this question popped up more and more frequently.
Software developers started to explore various practices, and gradually it became apparent what was working and what wasn’t. The results were distilled into a set of principles and values that stand at the core of the Agile approach to software development.
Now, while Agile is a perfect fit for projects that can’t be planned upfront—that is, in the vast majority of cases—successfully implementing it can be tricky.
It requires us to think differently when it comes to organizing our work. Taking on just some of its elements—for example, working in shorter timeframes—won’t make us Agile.
To increase our productivity, we first need to understand the core values behind Agile practices.
In this course, you’ll learn how to apply proven methods and techniques to your own projects, such as planning and tracking work, creating estimates, designing user stories, organizing the work and teams, setting up Scrum, running standup meetings, and so much more.
Throughout this course, instructor Karoly Nyisztor shares practical examples to solidify the presented concepts and techniques.
By the end, you’ll know how to organize your work and deliver complex projects successfully while responding to changing business needs.
