Agile and DSDM Training Courses at GBdirect

This section of the site contains a range of Agile & DSDM software development training courses.

Courses offered in this topic are as indicated (* Open Public Course * Closed In-House Course)

The business users want their ICT applications up and running quickly whilst management insists on flexible designs that will accommodate change - and everyone insists on risk free, high-quality solutions at low cost!

GBDirect deliver training courses in popular development methodologies that follow the Rapid application development (RAD) philosophy of software development. The RAD approach is characterised by short iterative cycles of development following an evolutionary change path.

Agile Software Development refers to a group of software development methodologies that are based on similar principles. Agile methodologies generally promote: A project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation; a leadership philosophy that encourages team work, self-organization and accountability; a set of engineering best practices that allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software; and a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals.

DSDM Atern is the latest release of the Dynamic System Development Method, the proven agile project delivery framework that applies equally to small software developments and full scale business process change. Its goal is to deliver software systems on time and on budget while adjusting for changing requirements along the development process.

Scrum is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development) commonly used with agile software development.
