Software Engineering

Agile & Delivery

User stories and estimation, sprints and kanban, code review and standups, then the delivery half: environments, containers, pipelines, migrations on deploy and knowing when something is broken.

The course project

The Delivery Pipeline

A planned backlog worked in iterations, and a pipeline that tests, builds and deploys the project on every push.

Each module ends with a practice test, a graded build, and a step of the course project.

Part I: Deciding

What Agile Actually Says

Four sentences, and an industry of things built on top of them.

User Stories and Acceptance Criteria

Describing work by what someone gets, not what you will type.

Estimation and Iterations

Guessing usefully, and admitting it is a guess.

Part II: Working

Review and Reflection

Code review, and the meeting that is supposed to change something.

Part III: Delivering

Environments and Configuration

The same code, behaving correctly in three different places.

Pipelines

The machine that checks and ships, so you do not have to remember.

Knowing When It Is Broken

Finding out from a monitor rather than from a user.
