  • This one-hour, web-based workshop addresses the needs of information technology leaders. It includes a panel discussion on the benefits of Agile in the field of Information Technology, as well as a set of case studies that demonstrates the business advantages of Paceline as well as how Paceline has added value to other well known Agile frameworks (Scrum, XP, Lean) Participants’ specific questions will be answered by the panel. The goal of this course is to provide students an opportunity to be exposed to successful implementations (case studies) of Paceline SEF ecosystems delivered with representatives from the client community itself to provide a forum from which just-in-time questions can be answered and addressed regarding Agile and Paceline

Instructor-based (onsite or offsite) delivery

  • PL-1000: Paceline Overview (Level 1)

  • This full day class is oriented towards students that are new or somewhat inexperienced with Agile. It includes an orientation to Agile (history, methods/techniques) as well as principles, concepts and structure overview of Paceline’s approach to Agile. The students are then walked through Paceline’s routines (daily, weekly). Students are exposed to how the application of a Paceline ecosystem to an organization significantly mitigates risks as well as assists in accelerating the adoption of Agile. Students are provided a review of Paceline artifacts. Coverage of how Paceline addresses Business-Driven Technology through application of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) is also addressed. A very informative and interactive workshop is included in this course that provides students with the necessary techniques for implementing a Paceline Ecosystem. At the end of the course, students have the option to test for Paceline Level 1 Certification. The goal of this course is for students who complete this class to be able to go back to their projects and implement a Paceline Ecosystem (Collaboration, Task and Artifact Management and Meeting Management).

  • PL-2000: Paceline for Agilists(Level 2)

  • This full day class is oriented towards students that are familiar and experienced with Agile (Scrum, XP, Lean, etc.). Included is a review of principles, concepts and structure of the Paceline SEF and its approach to Agile. Advanced concepts are presented in the context of case studies to help students in their application of these concepts. Additionally covered is how Paceline is additive to familiar Agile frameworks thus providing context to the value Paceline provides to an organization. The students are then walked through Paceline’s routines (daily, weekly). Students are exposed to how the application of a Paceline ecosystem to an organization significantly mitigates risks as well as assists in accelerating the adoption of Agile. Students are provided a review of Paceline artifacts. Coverage of how Paceline addresses Business-Driven Technology through application of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) is also addressed. A very informative and interactive workshop is included in this course that provides students with more advanced techniques f or implementing a Paceline Ecosystem.
