2. Product Ownership Course
Last January, Apium Academy organized the first edition of the Product Ownership Course in Barcelona. This course provides detailed information about the role of the Product Owner, a position with high demand today. The program reviews the different attributions and responsibilities of a Product Owner in an Agile environment. Students know and implement technical aspects such as Backlog management, User Stories, prioritization and soft skills such as communication, expectations management and leadership, among others.
The course teacher, Ramon Felip, is Apiumhub’s Product Owner. Here you may find the testimonials.
The next edition of the Product Ownership Course will begin on June 2, 2020.
On February 18th, the new edition of Apium Academy’s Legacy Code Course begins, courtesy of our Principal Engineer, Alvaro García. During this course, the student will learn:
What’s legacy code.
Best practices for dealing with legacy code.
Why most (all) projects end up being legacy.
Palliative care techniques for legacy code.
Techniques for preserving business value (e.g., golden master, mutation testing, characterization testing).
How to test from a white-box / black-box perspective.
There are still free spots, so if you are interested, do not let any more time pass and register now. Currently, only the Late Birds Tickets remain at a price of 550€.

4. February 19th – Meetup with vpTech
On February 19th at 19:00 we’re preparing a Round Table discussion with software architects from Apiumhub and vpTech. As software architecture is key in every software project and many companies start hiring experienced software architects to achieve scalability and high performance, we would like to share our experience and key highlights regarding the role of an architect within the company.
Each year, Apiumhub collaborates on the State of Software Development report series, which focus on the software development industry, covering topics such as developer management, agile methods, and growing technology trends. Find out here.
