Build High-Quality Software Fast Without Accumulating Technical Debt
AI tools are accelerating development cycles, but speed without quality creates technical debt that eventually stalls progress. Organizations need developers who can leverage AI-assisted development while maintaining engineering discipline through test-driven development, continuous integration, and automated testing practices.
Our agile engineering training and coaching programs teaches development teams how to ship reliable software quickly, one of the four critical capabilities your product organization needs to compete effectively.
We help programmers master TDD, implement continuous deployment pipelines, refactor legacy code safely, and build comprehensive test automation strategies.
Whether you need focused workshops for specific engineering practices or complete certification paths for professional development, our hands-on training approach ensures your teams deliver production-ready code consistently while keeping technical debt manageable.
Agile Engineering Training Programs
Our training workshops combine technical instruction with practical coding exercises. Participants spend over 70% of workshop time writing code, implementing the practices they learn in real development scenarios. Choose individual workshops to address immediate needs, or follow our Scrum Alliance certification paths for comprehensive professional development.

Building Quality Products Workshop – AI Test Driven Development (AI-TDD)
The Building Quality Products Workshop teaches teams to use AI coding assistants while maintaining TDD discipline. Developers learn to prompt AI tools effectively for test generation and code implementation, following the Red-Green-Refactor cycle at machine speed with human oversight. The workshop covers AI-powered unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing, along with pairing, ensemble programming, continuous integration, and continuous deployment.
This workshop establishes the foundation for quality execution across your development organization, teaching teams to ship faster without sacrificing reliability.
Introduction to Test Driven Development Workshop
The Introduction to Test Driven Development Workshop teaches TDD fundamentals and the programming skills needed to build reliable, maintainable applications. Participants learn to write tests first, implement minimal code to pass tests, and refactor continuously to improve design. Through hands-on coding exercises in Java or C#, developers practice building applications iteratively and incrementally while establishing a solid code foundation that remains easy to change.
Test Driven Development Deep Dive Workshop (TDD-DD)
Test Driven Development Deep Dive Workshop goes beyond TDD basics to cover implementing complete applications from conception to production. Programmers learn to convert problem statements into user stories, create Sprint backlogs, and implement tasks using TDD. The workshop demonstrates how to deliver production-ready code at the end of each Sprint by building quality into every development cycle.
Advanced Unit Testing Workshop
The Advanced Unit Testing workshop teaches the principles, patterns, and practices for writing clean, fast, maintainable unit tests. Programmers learn to add tests to production code that has zero test coverage, apply testing patterns and conventions, avoid common testing pitfalls, structure and organize test suites effectively, and use advanced mocking techniques to manage dependencies. The workshop focuses on practical strategies for bringing untested code under test coverage.
Beyond Unit Testing Workshop
The Beyond Unit Testing workshop helps programmers build comprehensive test automation strategies that extend beyond unit tests. Participants learn to implement database integration tests, domain integration tests, UI integration tests, and end-to-end acceptance tests. The workshop demonstrates how to take existing unit test suites and expand them into complete test automation pyramids that verify application behavior at multiple levels.
Working With Legacy Code Workshop
The Working with Legacy Code workshop teaches practical strategies for refactoring legacy applications into cleaner, more maintainable code. Programmers learn to identify code smells, recognize opportunities for improvement, and safely apply refactoring techniques to implement better design patterns. The workshop provides strategies for bringing existing applications under control without expensive complete rewrites.
Agile Testing Workshop
The Agile Testing workshop helps testers transition from traditional testing approaches to agile testing practices. Participants learn the role of testers on agile teams, the agile testing mindset, the agile testing lifecycle, and the competencies needed to collaborate effectively with development teams. The workshop covers test categorization, behavior-driven development, specification by example, exploratory testing, and automated acceptance testing within comprehensive test automation strategies.
Scrum Alliance Certification Paths for Developers
For comprehensive professional development, our certification programs follow the Scrum Alliance’s progressive Certified Scrum Developer model. This staged, two-year journey combines in-class training with work experience to help participants progress from foundational knowledge to advanced practice to professional mastery.

Certified Scrum Developer – Team Member Practices Training (CSD)
The Certified Scrum Developer – Team Practices training introduces participants to Scrum fundamentals, Scrum roles and accountabilities, and the essential skills needed to work successfully as a Scrum team member.
Prerequisites: None
Suitable for: All team members
Advanced Certified Scrum Developer Training (A-CSD)
The Advanced Certified Scrum Developer – Agile Engineering Practices training goes beyond Scrum fundamentals into the agile engineering practices needed to design and build reliable, robust, verifiable systems. The training covers test-driven development, pairing, ensemble programming, collective code ownership, automated builds and tests, continuous integration, and continuous deployment.
Prerequisites: CSD + 1 year of coding experience
Certified Scrum Professional – Developer Training (CSP-D)
The Certified Scrum Professional – Developer training focuses on enabling a culture of technical excellence within organizations, catalyzing high-performing teams, guiding technical teams to learn and grow, and developing technical leadership skills.
Prerequisites: A-CSD + 2 years of experience
Technical Coaching for Development Teams
Our agile engineering coaching provides hands-on technical support to help teams master engineering practices and apply them in their codebases. Coaching reinforces workshop concepts through practical application, or addresses specific technical challenges in ongoing projects.
Technical coaching helps development teams:
- Master test-driven development in production codebases
- Implement automated testing and continuous integration pipelines
- Establish continuous deployment practices
- Refactor legacy code safely and systematically
- Reduce technical debt while maintaining delivery velocity
- Improve code quality and maintainability
- Adapt to changing requirements confidently
Technical coaching ensures teams can apply agile engineering practices effectively in real development environments, not just in training exercises.
Free Coaching Sessions
Have questions about test-driven development, continuous integration, or other agile engineering practices? We offer free 20-minute coaching sessions to help you work through specific technical challenges.
How to Get Started with Agile Engineering Training
Customized Training and Coaching Programs
Our agile engineering services are flexible and can be tailored to your organization’s needs. We design programs for individual teams or entire departments, single workshops or complete certification paths, standalone coaching or combined training and coaching engagements.
Training Plus Coaching Packages
Combined training and coaching packages ensure knowledge transfer and practical application. Coaching reinforces workshop concepts through hands-on application in your codebase, or helps developers improve targeted engineering skills for specific ongoing initiatives.
