'Dieses Buch ist ein einfacher Leitfaden für alle, die etwas über das Agile Konzept und das Scrum Framework erfahren wollen und-sich nicht mit den DOs und DON'Ts bzw. den Klischees zufriedengeben, sondern wirklich verstehen möchten, welche Gründe für die verschiedenen Vorgehensweisen sprechen;-nicht nur an den neuesten Trends interessiert sind, sondern die Diversität und Bandbreite an Ideen und Philosophien in diesem Bereich kennen und verstehen möchten.Das Buch deckt folgende Inhalte ab: 1.Grundlegende Konzepte: Das erste und das letzte Kapitel des Buchs beschäftigen sich mit der Bedeutung und Dynamik von Agilen Projekten. Sie schaffen das Fundament, das Sie benötigen, um Details zu verstehen und sich in Agilen Projekten zurechtfinden zu können.2.Frameworks: Das Kapitel zu Scrum geht auf alle Einzelheiten dieses äußerst beliebten Frameworks ein. Wer mit Agilen Projekten zu tun hat, sollte Scrum kennen und verstehen. Das Gleiche gilt für Kanban, das ebenfalls in einem eigenen Kapitel näher untersucht wird.3.Praktiken: Die Kapitel zu Crystal, eXtreme Programming und DSDM(R) erkunden die gängigsten Agilen Praktiken und Techniken mit Hilfe dieser Methoden.

This book is a simple guide for anyone who wants to learn about the Agile concept and the Scrum framework by:¢ understanding the reasons behind various approaches instead of just going through do's and don'ts and cliches, and¢ understanding the diversity and range of ideas in this domain rather than just the latest fashion.There are three types of content in this book:1. Fundamental concepts: The first and the last chapters are about the meaning and dynamics of Agile projects. They build a solid foundation that helps you learn the details on the one hand, and on the other hand, find your own way in projects.2. Frameworks: The Scrum chapter goes through all the details of this most popular framework because anyone involved in Agile projects these days needs to be familiar with it. Another necessity is Kanban, which is explored in its own chapter.3. Practices: There are chapters about Crystal, eXtreme Programming, and DSDM(R), which all use these methods to explore the most common Agile practices and techniques.

Besides the DevOps Master Courseware (ISBN: 978 94 018 313 7) publication you are advised to obtain the publication The DevOps Handbook: How to Create World-Class Agility, Reliability, and Security in Technology Organizations (ISBN: 978 19 427 8800 3).The word DevOps is a contraction of 'Development' and 'Operations'. DevOps is a set of best practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication of IT-professionals (developers, operators, and support staff) in the lifecycle of applications and services, leading to:¢ Continuous Integration: merging all developed working copies to a shared mainline several times a day¢ Continuous Deployment: release continuously or as often as possible¢ Continuous Feedback: seek feedback from stakeholders during all lifecycle stagesThe DevOps practices covered in this certification are derived from the Three Ways:- The First Way is to enable the work to move fast from left to right, from Development to Operations to the customer.- The Second Way is to enable feedback to go fast from right to left, from all stakeholders back into the value stream.- The Third Way is to enable learning by creating a high-trust culture of experimentation and risk-taking.Moreover, the crucial subjects of security in all stages, and maintaining compliance during change are covered.The certification has been developed in cooperation with experts in the DevOps work field.Recommended per knowledge: Pre-knowledge of Agile, Lean and/or IT Service Management, for instance through the EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation exam, LITA Lean IT Foundation exam or EXIN IT Service Management Foundation based on ISO/IEC 20000 exam, is recommended.

Blockchain technology has come a long way since the initial vision published by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Big buzz words like "bitcoin," "blockchain," and "cryptocurrency" are everywhere. Companies and governments have started to use blockchain technology in earnest and will increasingly do so for the foreseeable future. This book takes an in-depth look at blockchain technology and how users can take advantage of its potential. Since its initial conception, blockchain has encompassed both a social promise and new technology. Originally proposed as a solution for Bitcoin's cryptocurrency record-keeping system, blockchains are now used to store the records of all types of applications. Core services we all depend on like the transfer of money, voting, land records, IP rights, and identity all rely on intermediaries. Blockchain software has begun taking the place of these antiquated systems. The software becomes the trusted record-keeping system, and the rules programed into the software become the intermediaries. This book explains the fundamentals of blockchain technology and assumes that the reader has little to no knowledge of the subject. Topics are explained as simply as possible, while not obscuring details that may affect the reader. It also gives the reader insight into the critical differences in blockchain software and will provide them with a basic understanding of how and why these systems work. After reading this book, the reader will be able to speak with confidence on the topic, know key differences in technology. The reader will also have critical insight into blockchain software's inherent limitations and shortcomings. This book is also the definitive guide to the Blockchain Technology Foundation (BTF) exam from EXIN. It will prepare the reader for the test, and each chapter ends with review questions for extra guidance in preparing for the exam.
