Agile Bootcamp Training

Agilocity’s agile boot-camp training (which is similar to agile fundamentals) is the perfect introduction to lean and agile ways of working for groups. The boot-camp is comprised of a healthy mix of theory with experiential learning activities built into the course. We use a real project in class to expose learners to the creative energy unleashed in agile execution.

During the boot-camp we look at two of the most popular frameworks, Scrum and Kanban.

Agile Bootcamp Overview

Delivering valuable solutions faster doesn’t involve just engineers developing software. It involves introducing a shared DevOps mindset among all the people who define, build, test, deploy, and release software-driven products.

​

The SAFe® DevOps course helps people in technical, non-technical, and leadership roles optimize their development value stream from end to end. Take this course with your entire cross-functional team to map your current value stream from concept to cash. Design a Continuous Delivery Pipeline that’s relevant to your business. And get the guidance and tools you need to work effectively in remote environments with distributed teams.
