Behavior-Driven Development training and coaching

Behavior-Driven Development Training with Michigan Technology Services

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Behavior-Driven Development training and coaching, as well as other Leadership, Agile and Scrum courses, through a partnership with a number of Agile Development trainers and enterprise coaches.

In a pre-Covid world our training would take place at our location in the Farmington Hills/Novi area, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or at your location anywhere around the world. Our Behavior-Driven Development workshops and Agile training and coaching sessions are now offered online/virtually, reducing your need to travel. We do still provide onsite training.

While many educators fly into metro Detroit to deliver Scrum and Agile classes at a hotel, and then leave, our core group of trainers and coaches live here, grew up here and/or support the local Agile community. We continue to sponsor regional Agile conferences and meetups. We have successfully run Leadership Agility, Scrum Development and Product Owner courses for multiple teams from globally recognized organizations.

What is the Behavior-Driven Development micro-workshop?

This comprehensive course delves into the core principles and practices of Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), equipping you with the skills to transform how your team approaches software development.

Workshop Topics (eight hours):

You will learn how to:

Facilitate collaborative workshops to define feature behaviors using clear, business-readable language
Foster a shared understanding among developers, testers, and stakeholders.

Automate specifications to create living documentation and executable tests
Integrate BDD seamlessly within agile frameworks like Scrum

By participating in this course, you’ll gain practical experience in applying BDD to real-world scenarios, leading to:

Improved communication
Reduced rework
Delivery of higher-quality software that aligns precisely with business objectives.

You’ll discover how BDD enhances team collaboration, promotes a focus on user value, and ultimately accelerates your development process.

You will also learn techniques for effectively managing changing requirements and ensuring continuous feedback throughout the software lifecycle.

Student Successes

The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

- SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

- SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

- Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students. It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

- De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
