Overview

"Agile Development Training Service" is one of the menu items included in the "Digital Human Resources Training Service" (external link) provided by NTT DATA Corporation. This is a training service that enables participants to acquire various knowledge required for agile development by learning the agile development methodologies and actually developing the applications.

We offer a detailed training menu that includes "Ideathon Training," in which participants generate ideas for systems and services by sharing ideas based on a specific theme; "Design Trial Training," in which participants experience and learn the process of exploring fundamental issues in conversations with customers and applying them to development; "Product Owner Training," in which participants learn skills and ideas that product owners should possess; and "Scrum Training," in which participants learn Scrum development methods that can be used immediately in the field in a game format.
We support the acquisition of agile development techniques and know-how that are immediately useful in practice by allowing you to learn not only the techniques, but also the "way of thinking" that is important as a preliminary step in the development process.

In addition, the impact of the new coronavirus has further increased the need to change the way management and business are conducted, as well as the way people live and work. In addition to the transformation of front-line workers, there is a greater than ever need for managers to be equipped with mindset transformation as they lead business and organizational change. In response to these needs, a new management mindset change training program has been established.
Furthermore, in Agile development, Scaled Agile, Inc. (SAFe), which is the only method that can extend team-based Scrum development to the organizational level and can demonstrate business agility (agility and ability to respond to changes) from the perspective of management and business. (Headquarters: Colorado, USA, CEO: Chris James, hereinafter referred to as SAI) NTT DATA original SAFe experience training was newly established based on the official training. This enables us to provide training tailored to the stage of our customers' digital transformation (DX) initiatives.

All of these trainings are now available online due to the current restrictions on group events with multiple participants.
