Course Overview
This immersive three-day workshop provides embedded teams with everything needed to start their agile transformation. Through a combination of training, hands-on exercises, and real-time coaching, your team will establish agile practices tailored to embedded development realities. We’ll help you navigate hardware dependencies, long lead times, and regulatory requirements while building an agile culture that sticks.
Designed specifically for teams transitioning from traditional embedded development approaches, this workshop goes beyond theory to provide practical, immediately applicable techniques. Your team will work together on real examples from your own domain, practicing new skills in a safe environment with expert guidance. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have experienced multiple sprint cycles, created your own team agreements, and developed a clear roadmap for continuing your agile journey.
