Design for Changeability

Enhance your skills of design for changeability

In a world that’s asking for changes faster and faster, a prevalent characteristic we ask from our software desire is changeability. This workshop teaches the team members the key elements of how to create software that has low change costs.

This hands-on, practical workshop helps software developers through hands-on exercises, activities, and theoretical discussions.

Why Attend

You inherited a big ball of mud code base that you need to change and you’re thinking there must be a better way

You are tired of fixing bugs in one part of the code while another one appears in a completely different part.
