Course Overview
When you can only spare one day, this intensive training makes the most of it by establishing effective AI-augmented development workflows with Anthropic Claude Code. Unlike purely tool-focused training, this course integrates workflow design and practice evolution, covering the full spectrum of AI-augmented development—from individual productivity patterns through team integration strategies.
Through hands-on exercises with Anthropic Claude Code, you’ll learn how requirements engineering becomes prompt engineering, how test strategies adapt to AI capabilities, and how code review practices must evolve when AI enters the development lifecycle.
Working directly with Anthropic Claude Code throughout the day, you’ll practice individual workflow optimization, TDD and BDD with AI assistance, team integration patterns, and realistic approaches to measuring impact. The breadth-first approach gives you the complete picture and helps you identify which practices warrant deeper investment for your specific context.
You’ll explore agile ceremonies with AI, evolved code review approaches, common pitfalls and antipatterns to avoid, and strategies for scaling productivity across your organization. You’ll understand why most teams achieve only incremental improvements (10%) rather than transformative gains (10x), and what patterns separate the two.
Perfect for developers who need rapid practical coverage, team leads evaluating AI adoption strategies, and agile practitioners seeking to understand integration approaches. You’ll leave with concrete starter artifacts you created yourself—prompt templates, workflow checklists, team adoption plans—ready to use immediately.
