Agile Facilitation and Iteration Management
Overview
This ICAgile accredited course provides an in-depth understanding of how collaborative
workshops can be planned, organised and run, and how each member can contribute to the
team achieving maximum effectiveness, while identifying potential pitfalls (smells) and how to
avoid/address them. The course also assists Iteration Managers in addressing aspects of their
role to build capability across the team.

 Understand how to apply a variety of tools and techniques and the context in which they
are useful
 Understand how to facilitate the various Agile work practices
 Understand the role of the Iteration Manager / ScrumMaster and how it can help
collaborative teams on their agile journey
Content
 The Mindset and Role of the Agile Team Facilitator
The purpose of this topic is to understand the most fundamental functions of an Agile Team
Facilitator / Iteration Manager including facilitating the Agile practices, fostering
collaboration amongst team members and generally supporting a self-organised team.
Facilitation is about leading by example and the facilitator needs a deep understanding of
how their attitudes and behaviours influence their teams as role models and mentors.
 Facilitation Tools and Techniques
Understand the tools you can use in your role as a facilitator in the context of an Agile
team. Facilitators grow their skills by facilitating various team practices, through exploration
of advanced facilitation concepts, facilitating larger or more diverse groups, and facilitating
deeper conflicting issues.
This topic provides the participants with the tools and techniques they need to facilitate
meetings, collaborative conversations and team decision making sessions for small or
large groups.
 Facilitating the Agile Practices
The primary role of the Agile team facilitator / Iteration Manager is to empower the Agile
team toward a successful outcome. This requires identifying common hurdles to the
implementation of key Agile practices, as well as helping teams overcome their own
hurdles and successfully execute the practices.
This topic delves deeply into applying the general facilitation techniques to the key Agile
practices, covering chartering, planning in the large and small, day-to-day iteration
activities, showcases and retrospectives.
The overarching theme is how to be an effective facilitator in a self-organising, collaborative
team environment, and how to nurture team effectiveness.
 Iteration Management in Context
While the role of an Iteration Manager within an Agile team is rewarding, it also poses a
unique set of challenges for everyone intent on supporting their collaborative team to
improve efficiency and effectiveness by introducing agile practices.
This part of the course is highly practical, participant-led module which allows experienced
Iteration Managers as well as those only starting out in the role to share their experiences,
learning and knowledge within a safe, facilitated environment. This module also provides
the opportunity to receive tips and tricks from experienced agile practitioners, discuss
observed anti-patterns and smells and identify possible tools and techniques to help the
team overcome these.
Length: 3 days
PDUs:
None.
Certification:
ICP-ATF
Audience:
Anyone working on an
Agile project, especially
project managers, Scrum
Masters, or Iteration
Managers.
Prerequisites:
This is an advanced Agile
course which is not
suitable for people new to
Agile practices.
Participants need to have
completed formal Agile
training (such as IC Agile
accredited, Agile
Fundamentals course) and
have at least 12 months
experience working in an
Agile team. If you are
unsure as to your eligibility
for attending please
contact us to discuss.

Agile Coaching
Overview
This new and exciting, three-day course is designed to support experienced Agile practitioners
as they move into supporting and coaching Agile teams in their organisation. It teaches the
skills needed for an effective coach and mentor to bring the best out in the teams they support
and to help them achieve maximum benefit from their Agile transformation.
The course is aligned with the ICAgile Agile Coaching Track, which has been designed by
leading international experts to outline the skills and knowledge needed to be an effective Agile
Coach.
The course is deeply experiential, immersing the participants in hands-on coaching exercises
and using that experience to apply and reinforce the coaching theory. It will prepare
participants to effectively undertake the role of Agile Coach in an organisation.
Learning Outcomes
 Understand the mindset and role of the Agile Coach
 Experience and apply techniques to coach and communicate effectively
 Understand how to mentor and coach people
 Know what is needed to effectively start up an Agile team
 Understand and have techniques to help grow and develop teams
Content
 The Mindset and Role of the Agile Coach
Coaching and Communicating Effectively
The coach fosters a safe environment for open communication through setting an example
and encouraging others to mimic it. This topic will explore the value that effective
professional coaching and communication brings to the team, including purposeful
participation, effective use of silence, how to surface healthy conflict, and conflict
management and resolution.
 Mentoring and Coaching People
Mentoring and coaching are decidedly different yet complementary. In the Agile context,
mentoring and coaching helps people step into their Agile role fully and to transition to the
Agile mindset. As team members transition to (or become more adept at) their Agile roles,
the Agile coach is in a position to mentor their personal and professional growth by sharing
the knowledge and insights they have learned. In addition, using professional coaching
skills, the Agile Coach can help them find their own pathway to agility.
 Starting Up Teams
Effective coaching starts by helping Agile team members see what is occurring within
themselves, with others, and around them in their environment. The purpose of this topic is
to create a level of comfort with exploring individual and team preferences, perform start-up
activities such as project and team chartering, self-organisation team constructs, being
comfortable in learning through doing, starting before you have all of the answers, creating
definition of done and other social contracts, defining roles and responsibilities, etc.
 Growing and Developing Teams
An Agile Coach understands how high performing teams are formed and maintained, as
well as how to grow and develop teams toward their potential, given each team's specific
circumstances. The Agile Coach understands the difference between a group and a team,
when to build a team, how to facilitate the different stages of team development and how
each stage may impact the adoption of certain Agile practices. Effective Agile coaching
means understanding when to seamlessly alternate between pushing for results and
stepping back to focus on the team's development, or dancing between teaching,
facilitating, mentoring or coaching.

Agile Analysis Skills Development Programme

Agile Analysis
Overview
Agile teams realize that business analysis is still an essential part of project work and a key to
ensuring that they are working on the right solution. Analysis skills contribute to the agile team
by facilitating the collaboration, creating user stories, refining the backlog, getting buy-in on
priorities and ultimately the acceptance of the value delivered. Agile business analysis is a
team sport and pieces can be performed by many team members. The purpose of this course
is to cover the recommended analysis skills and techniques to be applied in an agile
environment. Various techniques will be covered to support these activities with a focus on
how to use the techniques, as well as how to use critical thinking to determine when to use
each technique.
The course provides practical guidance on handling complex projects and the many
spontaneous scenarios that occur on an agile project. Our material covers many variations of
agile so that these analysis techniques can adapt to different types of projects, different types
of agile teams, and even a variety of agile frameworks.

Advanced Agile User Stories
Overview
Slicing user stories down to fit into sprints is a key component of agile. The user stories are
intended to be small and at the same time they should provide just enough and just in time
requirements. Without the correct level of acceptance criteria, agile teams may find themselves
building things fast, but not necessarily building the right things. Teams often struggle with
these agile concepts and ways of identifying the necessary requirements while still adhering to
lean documentation.
This class is intended for an agile team to improve their user stories relating to prioritization,
estimation, splitting stories, organizing, and making sure that they are refined and ready for the
development sprints. This includes breaking them down from epic to feature to stories and
eliciting the acceptance criteria.
Participants should bring their initiative or epic to break down into user stories or they can use
a case study provided.
Learning Objectives
 Provide practical tools and techniques to ensure your User Stories meet the characteristics
of INVEST
 Utilize the core component analysis approach to ensure that a cohesive set of user stories
exist
 Take user stories from their raw state to refine them into a ready state
 Understand the capturing of acceptance criteria; examples and scenarios
 Identify how to triage change requests and determine where they fit in the backlog
 Review and create traceability of stories to their features and to their initiative or epic to
ensure that the context of the project is defined
 Define and assign business value to prioritize and help manage minimal viable product
discussions.

Applied Exploratory Testing
Overview
When using experience based techniques a lot of testers focus on just "getting the testing
done", starting the testing effort without consideration of what to test and when. Exploratory
Testing is not an excuse to not document, cut corners, or "just follow your nose". It is a
structured, disciplined and advanced technique. When using an Exploratory Testing approach
it becomes even more critical to plan and prepare the team to ensure the testing is effective
and efficient.
This course shows how Exploratory Testing techniques can be used to maximise the return on
investment from the test team. It introduces planning, key techniques, tracking, tools and
reporting with reference to Exploratory Testing. Various types of test approaches are explored.
Participants will learn how these can be used to focus their testing and maximise the testing
efficiency of the team. Participants will learn about tours, checklists, test charters and other
exploratory test techniques in a hands-on and practical day of testing.
Learning Outcomes
 By the end of the course, participants will understand the fundamentals of how to plan and
structure an effective and efficient approach to Exploratory Testing.

Agile Programming Techniques
Overview
During this three day ICAgile accredited course, participants will encounter, and practice, the
tools and techniques for designing and implementing systems. Specifications written in the
form of user examples and unit tests will be used to drive development with TDD (Test-Driven
Development), BDD (Behaviour-Driven Development) and ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven
Development).
Learning Outcomes
 Create unit tests to test individual classes and modules in isolation
 Safely refactor legacy code bases without breaking existing code
 Drive design and development with unit tests using TDD and BDD
 Write automated specifications/acceptance tests.
Content
 Unit Testing and Dependency Injection
Learn about the anatomy of a unit test and create tests in JUnit or NUnit. Use common
patterns for creating and structuring tests and fixtures to: create readable and maintainable
tests; and avoid duplication. Create test doubles using stubs and mocks to isolate the test
fixture and eliminate any dependencies. Apply dependency injection for easy configuration
to facilitate the use of test doubles without needing test hooks in production code.
 Refactoring
Apply refactoring patterns to safely restructure code into a better design without changing
its outward behaviour. Discover code smells identifying code that should be refactored in
order to remove technical debt. Look for seams to add unit tests to legacy code in a safe
fashion without refactoring the code, even though the code was not designed with testing in
mind.
 Design
Understand the need for simplicity in design and code. Learn to evaluate design and
design principles from the perspective of simplicity and quality. Look at how systems decay
over time and discover techniques to monitor the technical debt. Use the principle of
simplicity of design and code to avoid or eliminate technical debt.
 TDD and BDD
Discover how test-driven development focusses on the design and the desired
result. Apply TDD to create a high-quality system. Understand the difficulties of applying
TDD. Use behavioural requirements to identify what to do next and what to test.
 The Build Process
Understand how Agile collaboration with concepts such as collective accountability and
collective ownership. Experience pair programming, identifying the benefits and challenges
and understanding the different types of pairing. Look at how build tools provide automation
of the build and test process, and how version control provides a source code repository to
support multiple developers working on the same system. Learn how continuous
integration helps us have confidence regarding the quality of the code in the source code
repository and manages integrating the work of multiple developers.
 ATDD
Discover how TDD delivers technical quality but not necessarily user quality. Apply ATDD
to ensure user quality and drive TDD. Create readable user specifications that can be
“executed” as automated acceptance tests, resulting in “living documentation”.

Disciplined Agile in a Nutshell
Overview
Agile transformation is hard because cultural change is hard. It’s not one problem that needs to
be solved, but a series of hundreds decisions affecting lots of people over a long period of time
that affects relationships, processes, and even the state of mind of those working within the
change. Disciplined Agile (DA) is unlike any other framework, because it’s based on
empiricism, industry data and adoption of proven practices. The result is a huge wealth of
structured information that allows you to map your challenges into a tree structure of proven
strategies that other people have found to work in practice. In effect you can apply the DA
framework to identify process improvements that reflect the actual situations faced by your
teams.
This workshop focuses on how to apply the DA framework to deliver sophisticated agile
solutions in the enterprise. The DA framework builds on the existing proven practices from
agile methods such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean software development,
Unified Process, and Agile Modeling to include other aspects necessary for success in
enterprise-class settings. Filling in the gaps left by mainstream methods, DA provides
guidance on how to effectively plan and kick-start complex projects as well as how to apply a
full lifecycle approach, with lightweight milestones, effective metrics, and agile governance.
This one-day workshop is not technical and is suitable for all team members. Group exercises
reinforce the principles learned. The workshop is valuable for anyone who wants to understand
how agile solution delivery works from end-to-end or anyone tasked with moving from
traditional approaches to agile, particularly in enterprise settings.
Learning Outcomes
 Discover how agile solution delivery works in enterprise-class settings
 Learn how to avoid costly "agile beginner mistakes" by starting with a full delivery lifecycle
 Learn how people in traditional roles can transition into an agile team
Content
 Introduction to Disciplined Agile (DA): Learn about the four delivery lifecycles supported by
DA; how DA is a hybrid that shows how proven practices from a range of sources fits to-
gether; how to take a flexible, non-prescriptive approach to agile development; the im-
portance of being enterprise aware.
 Disciplined Agile roles: Team Lead (Scrum Master), Product Owner, Architecture Owner,
Team Member, Stakeholder + five more optional scaling roles.
 Inception Phase: Covers key activities for initiating a DA team, including initial require-
ments modelling, initial architecture modelling, initial release planning, strategies for your
physical and virtual work environments, initial risk identification, and driving to a shared vi-
sion with your stakeholders.
 Construction Phase: Describes many technical strategies for building consumable incre-
ments of your solution, including test-driven development (TDD), acceptance TDD, how to

Disciplined Agile for Executives
Overview
Teams within your organization have been experimenting with agile techniques such as
Scrum, continuous integration (CI), and agile testing and have shown promising results. But
you have significant reservations about this new development strategy. How does modeling
and documentation fit it? How do you ensure your organization’s long-term goals are still being
addressed? How does this approach scale to large teams, to distributed teams, or to
regulatory environments? How do you govern these agile teams effectively? In this workshop
you learn how to go beyond Scrum to take a disciplined agile approach to solution delivery that
provides a foundation from which to scale. To help cut through some of the agile rhetoric,
industry statistics will be discussed throughout this workshop.
Learning Outcomes
 Get answers to your questions about how to apply agile in practice
 Hear about how other organizations have addressed the challenges that you currently face
 Learn about the choices you have available to you so that you can adopt a strategy that
works for you
 One Complimentary Certified Disciplined Agilist test attempt when written within 30 days of
the course end date
 Gain first-hand knowledge about the DA process decision framework and its application
from one of its co-founders
 Attendees earn the designation of Disciplined Agilist
Content
The agenda will be tailored to meet your needs. We begin with a brief overview of the
fundamentals of Disciplined Agile. Then the remainder of the workshop is run like an agile
project. As a group we run through a brainstorming session where workshop participants
identify questions that they want to get answered about how to pragmatically apply agile
strategies in the situations that they face. We then group the questions into topics. At that
point we treat the topics as requirements for the workshop which we estimate, prioritize, and
work through in an agile manner. This approach enables us to tailor a workshop that
addresses your most pressing concerns.
Some questions that have been asked in previous workshops:
 How do architecture practices fit in?
 How can you remain agile when you need to give a fixed estimate up front?
 How do you work in an agile manner when the team isn’t co-located?
 How do you organize large agile teams?
 How do we improve our testing strategies?
 How do we evolve from Scrum to DA?
 How does DA support DevOps?
 How do project managers/business analysts/quality professionals/… fit in?

Disciplined Agile Architecture Owner Workshop
Overview
How architecture activities fit into an agile development project is likely the most
misunderstood aspect of agile. Granted, it doesn’t help that the only agile principle that directly
mentions architecture – The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from
self-organizing teams – is both vague and provocative at the same time. This hands-on
workshop explores how disciplined agile teams include architecture activities and concerns
throughout the lifecycle. Architecture is so important to disciplined agilists that we consider it
every single day.
Learning Outcomes
 How architecture activities fit into an agile development project
 How disciplined agile teams include architecture activities and concerns throughout the
lifecycle.
Content
 A Exploring the myths and misunderstandings surrounding agile and architecture
 Introduction to Agile Modeling

Agile Enterprise Architecture
Overview
Enterprise architecture can potentially promote a common business vision within your
organization, provide guidance to improve both business and IT decision making, and improve
IT efficiencies. Unfortunately many enterprise architecture teams struggle to provide these
benefits, often because they are perceived as ivory tower or being too difficult to work with.
The adoption of disciplined agile and lean strategies that are based on collaboration,
enablement, and streamlining the flow of work are the keys to enterprise architecture success.
Light-weight strategies that produce light-weight, yet still sufficient, artifacts are the key to your
success. In this workshop students will learn how to take an agile/lean approach to applying
the architectural views and strategies promoted in enterprise architecture frameworks such as
TOGAF and Zachman.
This one day workshop is not technical. Many group exercises reinforce the principles learned.
The workshop starts with fundamental principles and then builds strategies on top of this
foundation one at a time until a comprehensive enterprise architecture approach is developed.
Learning Outcomes
 Discover how to improve the effectiveness of your enterprise architecture team
 Learn how enterprise architects can work effectively with agile/lean software development
teams
 Discover how most enterprise architecture teams must still support traditional development
teams
 Learn strategies to work with business stakeholders more effectively
Content
 Overview of enterprise architecture (EA)

Disciplined Agile Data Warehousing (DW) / Business Intelligence
(BI) Workshop
Overview
Organizations want to gain the benefits of agile – greater quality, improved stakeholder
satisfaction, faster delivery, and higher productivity – for their Data Warehouse (DW)/Business
Intelligence (BI) teams. In today's competitive business environment new DW/BI solutions
must be delivered in weeks, not months or years. Enhancements must be delivered in hours
or days, not weeks or months. These delivery timeframes sound like fanciful thinking for
traditional teams but are commonly achieved by teams following Disciplined Agile approaches.
The good news is that proven techniques exist for DW/BI practitioners to work in an agile
manner. The bad news is that many existing DW/BI practitioners don't know that these
techniques exist, or if they do they don't know how to apply them in practice. This workshop
introduces these agile DW/BI techniques and shows how they fit together in practice.
Very often people start with Scrum, but they quickly discover that to make Scrum work for Agile
DW/BI it needs to be significantly extended to address the challenges of DW/BI teams. These
extensions include initial planning, initial requirements elicitation, initial architecture modeling,
agile data modeling throughout construction, continuous database development, and
streamlined deployment activities to name a few. The Disciplined Agile 2.0 process decision
framework has already done this extension work to address the challenges faced by DW/BI
teams. Furthermore, because DA seamlessly supports both Scrum-based and continuous
delivery strategies it is suitable for DW/BI teams new to agile as well as experienced teams
looking to improve their approach. This workshop teaches you the techniques required to
make agile DW/BI teams successful. An important aspect of this workshop is working through
a DW/BI-specific case study.
Learning Outcomes
 Attendees learn about fundamental agile database techniques that are critical to the
success of Agile DW/BI development
 Attendees learn how to apply Disciplined Agile strategies
Content
 Fundamentals of DW/BI
 How to initiate a disciplined agile DW/BI team, with a focus on:
 Initial requirements modeling
 Initial architecture modeling
 Initial planning
 How disciplined agile DW/BI construction works, with a focus on agile database practices
such as:
 Agile data modeling
 Agile DW architecture and design strategies
 Vertical slicing of DW/BI requirements to enable incremental delivery
 Database regression testing
 Continuous database integration
 Database refactoring
Length: 1 day

practitioners: If Agile DW/
BI is new to you and if you
wish an effective launch of
Agile DW/BI, Agile DW/BI

The Disciplined Agile IT Department
Overview
Agile software development teams do not work in a vacuum, but instead within an
organization's IT ecosystem which includes operations, support (help desk), data
management, enterprise architecture, portfolio management, and many other functions. When
you focus on streamlining your approach to software development yet do not make
corresponding improvements across your IT department this is akin to tuning a racing car
engine only to put it into a tractor. Just like you won't win a Formula 1 race with a tractor
running a fast engine, you won't serve the rest of your organization well with a traditional IT
organization that has a few agile software teams. It is time to step up our game.
Disciplined Agile (DA) is a process decision framework for lean enterprises. The main
characteristics of this framework are that it: is a people-first, learning-oriented hybrid agile/lean
approach; has a risk-value delivery lifecycle; is goal-driven; is enterprise aware; is tactically
scalable at the team level; and strategically scalable across all of the enterprise. It explicitly
describes strategies for addressing enterprise IT concerns in a context-sensitive manner - one
process does not fit all.
This workshop focuses on the Enterprise IT aspects of the Disciplined Agile (DA) framework.
This includes activities which support a full DevOps strategy, what we refer to as Disciplined
DevOps, and other critical IT capabilities such as Portfolio Management, People Management,
and IT Governance to name a few. All of these activities can and should be performed in an
agile/lean manner. This isn't your grandfather's approach to I.T.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
 The principles of Disciplined Agile IT
 Discover how to tailor your agile process to reflect the actual situation you find in yourself
 Learn how people in traditional Enterprise IT roles can work in an agile manner.
Content
 Introduction to Disciplined Agile IT. An overview of the Disciplined Agile (DA) framework
and the principles that enable Disciplined Agile IT.
 Disciplined DevOps. An overview of what it means to take a disciplined approach to
DevOps. What does it mean to take a disciplined agile approach to Operations, Support,
Release Management, and Data Management? How do you streamline these IT activities
with Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) teams?
 Disciplined Agile IT. How do you extend Disciplined DevOps to support Enterprise
Architecture, Reuse Engineering, Portfolio Management, Product Management, People
Management, Continuous Improvement, and I.T. Governance?
 Organization structures. What are your options for structuring these enterprise IT teams?
We will explore collaborative, cross-functional, traditional command-and-control, and
adhocracy-based approaches and their trade-offs. Particular attention will be paid to
scaling Architecture Owner (AO) and Product Owner (AO) roles.
 Transformation strategies. We will explore proven strategies for how your organization can
make the transition to a Disciplined Agile IT.

Disciplined DevOps: DevOps for the Enterprise
Overview
DevOps offers the promise of having software development teams that can deploy into
production several times a day and companies that release changes into production every few
seconds. That's great for startups and organizations new enough that they don't have to deal
with a lot of legacy, but that's not your situation. Your organization has been around for a long
time. You have a multitude of legacy systems and data sources in place and are drowning in
technical debt. You have a legacy culture that prefers a heavyweight approach (you may even
be an ITIL shop). You have a shortage of people with agile skills, let alone DevOps skills. Yet
you still want to adopt DevOps strategies to remain competitive.
This workshop is geared for people who want to implement DevOps within established
organizations. We begin with an overview of the DevOps mindset and Disciplined Agile
principles, then we jump into working through a fictional case study for an established
enterprise. Via this case study we work through how development needs to evolve for
DevOps, how to architect your solutions to support DevOps, how to address both security and
data concerns in a DevOps environment, how to coordinate releases when a large number of
teams are in flight, and how operations and support works in enterprise-class DevOps.
The workshop is not technical and is suitable for all team members. Many group exercises
reinforce the principles learned. The workshop is valuable for management or leaders tasked
with moving from traditional approaches to DevOps.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
 The full extent of how DevOps works in established enterprises
 Gain an understanding of the DevOps mindset
 Identify how your solution development strategy needs to evolve for DevOps
 Discover the potential impact on your operations and support strategies
Content
 The DevOps mindset
 Disciplined Agile principles
 Challenges adopting DevOps in established organizations
 Architecting for DevOps
 Continuous delivery practices - Continuous integration, automated regression testing, code
and schema analysis, automated deployment
 DevSecOps
 Strategies for Database DevOps
 Strategies for release management - Agile release trains vs. continuous release streams;
Coordinating releases across many teams; Release/deployment infrastructure
 IT Operations - Production monitoring; Disaster planning and mitigation strategies;
Common infrastructure
 Support - Strategies for supporting your end users
