This event is designed for educational purposes only and not a paid position.
Learning objectives - Participants who attend the 11 week Tampa Bay IIBA SDLC Simulation will learn:
1. Identify and describe key activities and deliverables in each SDLC phase
From requirements elicitation to analysis, design, development, testing, and deployment, participants will explore real-world artifacts, models, and workflows.
- Example: Create a phase-by-phase roadmap with role-based contributions
2. Translate business problems into prototypes.
Participants will apply Agile principles to scope their prototype within realistic time, resource, and technical constraints, articulating acceptance criteria and delivery value.
- Example: Break down a business scenario into user stories and deliverables
3. Collaborate effectively with cross-functional SDLC roles
Through interactive role-play and peer exercises, participants will build empathy and shared language with PMs, BAs, Devs, Testers, and UI/UX Designers, identifying core goals for each.
- Example: Conduct mock standups or model Kanban flows based on team perspectives
4. Apply Kanban principles and function as a self-directed team member
Participants will use visual task boards (e.g., Miro, etc.) to manage WIP, prioritize tasks, and maintain accountability within the team structure.
- Example: Track story grooming and identify blockers using swim lanes and tags
