The course is independent of the particular software development process being followed.
For on-site delivery the course and its examples can be adapted to reflect the organisation’s chosen development and management processes.
For example additional material is available to illustrate how iterative development can be managed within a PRINCE2® project environment. Throughout the class, common problems and their solutions will be explored.
