Testimonials

Student

Although big upfront design is thankfully a thing of the past in agile software development, architectural work remains of central importance. In the AGILA training, Stefan Toth does an excellent job of teaching approaches for integrating iterative architecture work into an agile context.
He creates a balanced mix of theoretical content, practical experience, and productive exchange among the participants. A particular highlight is the practical exercise project: here, the concepts taught are applied immediately and deepened in an entertaining setting!

For many developers, "documentation" is usually a rather dry topic – but Stefan Zörner thoroughly refutes this cliché in the two-day ADOC training (which flew by). In addition to the usual ingredients of architectural documentation and the common tools for creating such documents, I was able to significantly expand my methodological toolkit. And I was never bored (not least because of Stefan's relaxed manner and the exchange with the other participants) – because not every cliché is true.

I really enjoyed Falk's Foundation training and had a lot of fun. His presentation style and pace were very comfortable for me. He addressed the group's level of knowledge and adapted the training accordingly. The alternation between lecture and exercises worked well. I also found the quizzes in between to be entertaining and helpful for preparing for the certification.

The training was excellently structured and prepared, and it conveys well that this topic is about people and that communication is at the center. After the 3-day training, a good foundation has been laid for the topic, allowing you to also delve into the technical aspects of DDD. The trainer brings enthusiasm for the subject while remaining reflective and open to discussion.
