Even in waterfall we still need to build high quality software that can easily change, which is what the techniques that I teach help with. It is just that on agile projects we must be even more vigilant to make sure our code doesn’t degrade. I would say these engineering practices are critical on Agile projects and still very important on non-Agile projects.

I came across your site from a local company (Comsys) rep that I believe attempts to connect training services like yours to the area... it seems TOD is really offering a lot of Scrum training; the rep had submitted to me the outline about Agile S/D Essentials. The team I work with doesn't agile at all, but I'm sure some aspects would fit ... any thoughts/recommendations for your training courses?
