Software craftsmanship in the 21st century

Feel like you’re doing a good job but you could do a lot better if only ...?

Sprints are okay but you're not extremely proud?

Are you staying within your comfort zone or are you actually bored?

This two day training is for you!

Craftsmanship = making the difference

Software craftsmanship today is no longer just about how code is written or whether or not you apply XP practices.

The true craftsmen of the 21st century are those that simply make the difference. Craftsmen are the guys who have influence on their environment and their team. They’re successful in creating support for their ideas, and eventually, when there’s support, they're also able to pull it off and deliver.

As a craftsman you have impact. Through making your team grow, through a strong focus on value and through influencing all aspects that matter.

Above all, a true craftsman remains a true student; always trying to learn.
