Algemene informatie over de cursus
The training Practitioner in Agile Quality (PAQ) is designed to allow people with current Agile knowledge to take their skills to a practitioner level in an intensive learning environment. The course is designed for the whole team, as everyone has an equal responsibility for product quality. It covers the key competencies required to function effectively and efficiently whilst delivering quality. The course is focused on practical application, experiential and collaborative learning through discussion and exercises.The course lasts three days. The emphasis is on building your knowledge and skills to a practical application. PAQ candidates are assessed at the end of the course with a practical assessment taken under controlled exam conditions.This may be taken either directly at the end of the course, or separately scheduled.
This 'hands-on' practical assessment is in the form of a Sample Project which includes User Stories, associated Design documentation plus a 'multi-drop' application seeded with defects.
Each practical assessment will contain 2 additional scenario-based questions requiring written answers that cover a selection of competencies. These written answers will be marked along with the answers to the Sample Project by an Independent Assessor.
