Successful teamwork in an agile environment
You are looking for effective ways to specify, develop and test software faster, more effectively and with minimum ‘waste’. With the CARE mindset and tools it’s possible to create software an end-user is actually waiting for. During this training you’ll actively work with different work forms like Behaviour Driven Development, Impact Mapping, Event Storming, Example Mapping and Specification by Example.
Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)
BDD puts the behaviour of an end user at the centre of everything and is build on the principles of (Acceptance) Test Driven Development and Domain Driven Design (DDD). Combined with Impact Mapping and Specification by Example it’s possible to capture the right specifications and to make sure software is built and tested which actually meets the wishes and demands of the customer.
Impact Mapping and Event Storming
Impact Mapping is a way of working in which technology is subordinate to the impact the software should have (what) on an end-user (who) and how it’s possible to achieve this. But even more important is the question why we want this impact on the business and end-user. Thereafter it’s possible to use Event Storming to translate the Impact Map or User Story into a functional process during an interactive meeting.
Example Mapping and Specification by Example (SbE)
SbE is an approach in which there’s no longer being worked with abstract descriptions, but instead with concrete examples that specify the impact the software should have on an end-user. To get to these examples Example Mapping can be used.
This training is based on the following concepts, among other things:
- Gojko Adzic: Impact Mapping, Specification by Example
- Kent Beck: Test-Driven Development
- Dan North: Behaviour Driven Development
- Alberto Brandolini: Event Storming
Who should attend this training?
The training is suitable for you if you work / start working in an (agile and / or (Biz)DevOps) team and want to make better software by capturing the right Agile Requirements / specifications faster and potentially use them to better test the software. Or you want to coach/guide teams in doing this.
