Overview

Lean development has been used for decades in manufacturing industries, most notably in passenger cars and is today being used in various development and sustenance projects, including Software. Kanban is one of the most popular frameworks for development in a Lean Framework – focusing on improved lead time, removing bottlenecks, not overloading team members, cutting waste and streamlining work. It also uses some of the principles of Agile Manifesto. Kanban is widely preferred in support and services related projects.

JIRA with Agile Add-on, from Atlassian, is one of the most widely used tools for Kanban based development and is used in small startups to large organizations. It is not only easy to use, but also intuitive and provides a rich set of features and lot of flexibility in managing Lean/Agile projects following Kanban.

As the world moves towards cloud computing and distributed work environment becomes the norm rather than the exception, Atlassian JIRA Agile as a Kanban Development cloud/hosting tool helps immensely for rapid application development. Also, the total cost of ownership in using and maintaining this tool is one of the lowest in the market.

While it is important to know the theoretical principles of Lean/Kanban such as Backlog, Kanban Boards, Work in Progress, Finding and removing Bottlenecks, improved cycle time and lead time, Control Chart, Cumulative Flow Diagram et al, it is also important to know how to use them in a practical, real-world tool in a distributed environment.

This 2 days course in “Kanban Development with Atlassian JIRA Agile”, will give you a sound base on Lean/Kanban related principles and practices. More importantly it takes a practical, hands-on approach, which has proven immensely useful for team members working on Kanban Projects in a globally distributed cloud computing environment.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
