• Introduction to Agile Methods

  Mon, 29 Jun 2009, 09:00 - 17:00 in Leeds, United Kingdom

  Agile methods are a group of techniques which make it easier to deliver IT and web-based projects in environments of uncertainty and constant change. A crucial part of the Agile approach is to “Start from where you are”. This one day course won’t advocate the complete overthrow of any project management approach. Rather, through some teaching and a lot of hands-on case studies and activities, it seeks to add Agile techniques to the project manager’s existing repertoire.

• Technical Aspects of Agile

  30 Jun-1 Jul 2009 in Leeds, United Kingdom

  Aimed at developers and team leaders who are already familiar with Agile approaches, this two day course examines three important technical aspects of Agile software development. These are: pair programming; test driven development; and re-factoring.To many people, especially in senior management, pair programming seems completely counter-intuitive. Surely, by getting two people to do the job of one person you’re just halving your productivity?

Achieving a position at or near the top of the ‘organic’ rankings can take time and often requires a large investment of time and energy.Pay-per-click (PPC) can bring profitable results much more quickly by providing an instant source of targeted traffic, who are in active buying mode.
