Create a training model which will address

these challenges and help us achieve the

objectives...Present back to the rest of the group after 5 mins



A Typical Solution



Train-the-Trainer Model3. Pair

★ Potential trainer will get an opportunity to pair (in-person and remote) for 8 hours with AgileFAQs trainer on their project.

★ In the following 2 weeks, while working on their projects, potential trainer can ask questions or clarify their doubts via live video conferencing or email from AgileFAQs trainer.

1. Attend

★ Two potential trainers from your company attend a class thought by AgileFAQs trainer

2. Present

★ Before a sub-sequent training, the potential trainer picks any two topics from the training, which they present during the next training.

4. Co-Teach

★ In a sub-sequent training, the potential trainer will co-present with AgileFAQs trainer

★ Potential trainer can access to AgileFAQs training material (labs, code examples, presentation etc.)

5. Take-Over

★ If the potential trainer and AgileFAQs trainer feel confident, potential trainer can take over and run the course on their own.

AgileFAQs Trainer

Potential Trainer

Other Students * This model assumes that the potential trainer has first-hand working experience on the subject to be trained on. Also we assume they have the basic skill required for effectively delivering any training. We are mostly focusing on building on those 2 basic skills to help them deepen their subject matter expertise and enable them to effectively impart their knowledge.


Pre and Post Assessment


Have you considered?

• Pull based learning, which is in context?

• As Developers program, show them inline hints about code smells and possible refactoring

• Prompt the developer to checkin code more frequently



Have you considered?...

• Hands-on Programming based ELearning

• Developers acquire skill by doing programming labs, which get assessed and they get detailed feedback with visualisation so they can learn

Have you considered?...

• Gamification?

• Scores

• Leader Boards

• Levels


Bottom Line

Stop looking for this ONE trainer who can train you.

•One to many training model is not sustainable nor scalable

•There are experts within your team, seek them, enable them to begin the continuous learning journey

•Learning is an ongoing process NOT a one-time event



Thank You!
