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.
