4-Day Extreme Programming Workshop
Available Languages: C++ Java C# C Python
Extreme Programming (XP) is designed to turn the messy business of software development into a coherent, simple process. This methodology allows customers to rank-order features and to change their minds without recrimination from the tech staff. It emphasizes quick-release cycles of code, a focus on keeping the system as simple as possible, and constant testing. — Fast Company Magazine, October 2001
XP is focused on efficiently and effectively delivering excellent solutions for end users.
XP communities collaboratively manage risks, continuously learn and deliver value by blending management, customer and development values, principles and practices.
As practitioners, instructors and innovators of XP since its inception in the late 1990s, we have evolved the Extreme Programming Workshop to provide modern XP training infused with the latest Lean thinking.
This workshop is best suited for those who seek a "no excuses" process to achieve awesome results.
