Is this course technical or management-focused?

It bridges both. The course covers software delivery methodologies, system design, technology ecosystems, testing strategies, and DevOps — giving project managers and team leads the technical literacy to make better decisions.

What is the format of this course?

The course is delivered as 5 online sessions, each 4 hours long (one session per day). This spread-out format allows time to absorb material between sessions and apply concepts to your own work.

Do I need a programming background?

No programming is required. The course is designed for project managers and team leads who want to understand modern software delivery practices, architecture, and quality assurance — without writing code.

What methodologies are covered?

The course covers Waterfall, V-model, FDD, RAD, Agile, SEMAT, and Cynefin. You'll compare iterative and sequential methods, and learn how to organize value streams from inception to operations.

Is the course delivered live or is it pre-recorded?

The course is delivered live and online. You can interact with the instructor in real-time, ask questions via chat or audio, and participate in practical exercises. Video recordings are provided after the course for review.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?

Yes, all participants receive a shareable online certificate of attendance. You can also take an optional 1-hour exam, with your score printed on the certificate.

Modern Software Delivery Workshop

About the Modern Software Delivery Course

This 5-session workshop offers theory, insights, and practical experience on modern software delivery. We will compare iterative and sequential methods, and look into organizing value streams from inception to rapid development to frictionless operations.

What You'll Learn in This workshop

Compare software delivery methodologies and choose the right approach for your context
Read and create system design diagrams with proper notation and architecture patterns
Evaluate technology stacks, testing strategies, and quality assurance models
Understand DevOps, Continuous Delivery, and service-level metrics for operations

Modern Software Delivery Outline

1. Session 1

• History of software delivery methodologies
• Methodology overview: Waterfall, V-model, FDD, RAD, Agile, SEMAT, Cynefin
• Iterative vs incremental; Flow of value: product vs project
• Requirement collection and analysis. Functional vs non-functional requirements. Specification by example.
• Practical exercise: discuss the strengths and weakness of different methodologies

2. Session 2

• System design and architecture visualizations (design language and notation overview, diagram types)
• System design patterns and strategies: Coupling and cohesion; Data flow vs control flow; Up-front vs evolutionary; Top-down vs bottom-up
• Design decomposition; Functional and business analysis
• Practical exercise: draw a system design sketch with several components and data flows

3. Session 3

• Overview of modern technical ecosystems: programming languages, runtime engines, frameworks, products
• Overview of technologies dominating different layers of typical software system: frontend, backend, databases, integrations, mobile
• Practical exercise: based on input parameters evaluate the risks involved in migrating from one platform to another
• Introduction to common security principles in software systems

4. Session 4

• Introduction to testing methodologies and quality assurance disciplines
• Introduction to TDD and XP practices
• Testing pyramid; Quality assurance strategies (testing, security, policies)
• Testing types: unit, integration, system, functional, acceptance, end-to-end, performance
• Practical exercise: select the QA model based on input parameters
• Technical debt and maintainability metrics
• Refactoring vs redesign planning
• Introduction to static code analysis
• Practical exercise: spot the problem based on given example of technical project data

5. Session 5

• Introduction to Continuous Delivery
• Introduction to DevOps
• Notes on ITIL and ITSM
• Infrastructure-as-code, immutable infrastructure, delivery pipelines, GitOps
• Service-level metrics: SLAs and SLOs
• Error budgets, mean time to recovery
• Unplanned work management
• Practical exercise: propose a solution based on input parameters
