Alpe d'HuZes is an event where cyclists cycle to collect money for the fight against cancer. Rob participates, sponsored by QWAN. He will climb the legendary Alpe d'Huez at least six times in one day. An almost impossible challenge. Nonetheless quite a few participants managed to achieve this in 2006, 2007, and 2008, even a number of (former) cancer patients. In 2008, a record amount of 3 million Euro was collected! The goal for 2009 is to surpass this record amount.

At the moment, Rob is training hard to make the six times...interested in sponsoring Rob? Let us know.

We have updated our courses and workshops brochure for 2009. You can download it here.

We have added 4 new courses: Practical Object Oriented Design , Pimp my
Retrospective, Agile Product Development , and Mastering Scrum . We have
also included 3 new workshops: Dirty Jobs, Give your Code Some Love,
and Promise is Debt. We welcome your feedback, as we're continuously
improving our brochure.

We are proud to announce our new course on Agile Product Development.

Once development teams have embraced agile development and know how to deliver working software frequently, many organizations find that the bottleneck no longer is within engineering. It shifts to the realm of product management: how to do effective product development?

Scrum states that the Product Owner should create and maintain a prioritized product backlog, eXtreme Programming requires the Customer to speak with one voice. In practice, this is easier said than done. The customer realm is a complex but essential part of the whole value stream. Striving for excellence in engineering and project management practices is not enough, mastering agile product development is also necessary.

This practical, hands on couse focuses on strategies and practices for effective agile product development.

We are proud to announce our new course on Practical Object Oriented Design. This is a very practical, hands on course focused on improving your OO design skills.

It's not enough if a team has adopted Scrum or other agile processes, because the team has to be able to actually deliver quality software fast, now and in the future. Practicing good OO design is an essential part of a team's operational excellence.

After having been out of fashion for a few years, we currently see a growing interest in good OO design, with an emphasis on roles, responsibilities and interactions. It's the next generation of object oriented thinking: OO 2.0

We are running an eXperience Agile course near Eindhoven, the Netherlands on March 18 through 20. Three days of fun learning and experiencing Agile Software Development. We still have a few places available.

One of the few courses that goes in-depth in both Agile planning practices as well as technical practices. See the course page for a full description.

We have updated our courses and workshops brochure for the second half of 2008. You can download it here.

We (Rob, Willem & Marc) have decided to work more closely together and jointly offer project coaching and software development in addition to training.

The name eXperience Agile no longer adequately covers what we offer: it is only the name of our first course (which we still deliver). We now offer a broad range of pragmatic, hands on courses. Furthermore, we offer more than just courses - we develop software at client sites or from our office, and we mentor and manage projects.

We are planning a Practical Scrum for New Masters course on 27 October in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Join us for an intensive one day workshop and learn how to put your Scrum knowledge into practice effectively.

In this class we practice more Test- and Behaviour-driven development in small steps, you will experience various mocking techniques as well as how (not) to make tests that you and your colleagues can understand.
