Course Description

Agile is an approach to software development that has rapidly become mainstream. Incorporating the Agile philosophy into IT organizations has been shown to more rapidly deliver working software, increase quality, and decrease time-to-market. Using a mixture of techniques that together form modern Agile practices such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), user stories, test-driven development, etc, teams can significantly improve their productivity and morale.

Training Course Feedback

I was so impressed with every aspect of this workshop—from well-designed content to great contextual explanations...[the facilitators] provided real-world examples to add context, and made sure that everyone in the room both understood the material and had opportunity to share questions and experiences. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to gain a foundational knowledge of EBA and how to begin the journey of transformation for their team or organization.

Implementing SAFe^® Student

I attended the Certified Scrum Product Owner course last week and now have a new certification. After attending two certification classes in addition to ICON's SA class, I can definitely say that Icon provided a much better experience. The content was superior and there was more of it. The food was also better.

Leading SAFe^® Student

Strongly recommend this course. It provides instrumental tools to help the Agile practitioner expand beyond the bounds of dev teams to identify and quantify bottlenecks in the flow/delivery of outcomes from an idea's inception to delivery to customers.

SAFe^® DevOps Student

ICON's SAFe DevOps class struck a great balance of establishing foundational concepts and equipping participants with tactical tools to influence outcomes. You’ll take away a tangible game plan to create efficiencies, better empower teams and instill proven practices to transform your delivery pipeline.
