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 minimum viable products (MVPs)
Participants will apply Agile principles to scope MVPs 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 Product Owners, 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., Trello, Azure DevOps) to manage WIP, prioritize tasks, and maintain accountability within the team structure.
- Example: Track story grooming and identify blockers using swimlanes and tags
