One of the biggest challenges we've encountered with software development teams is in gaining alignment and understanding about how to integrate the core software engineering disciplines such that requirements can be traced all the way through the lifecycle as a common thread.  This is a fundamentally important aspect of software engineering, providing a basis for managing scope and schedule, mitigating inherent risk, and ultimately increasing likelihood of a successful project. 

ExperShare offers a unique approach to training in the core disciplines, which emphasizes the pragmatics of requirements traceability through the lifecycle.  In keeping with our philosophy of "learning by doing", we have developed a set of courses that closely simulate a real world software development experience, while learning how to apply best practice concepts like use case-driven requirements analysis, object-oriented approaches, UML, design  patterns, architectural  frameworks, etc.  Our courses are built upon a common case study that logically builds through the course modules - all the way through early requirements definition, through analysis and design, and ending with examples of working code.  The courses are modular, and designed such that they can be delivered as standalone courses, or taken in sequence either "back to back" or scheduled over a period of time.  The common underlying case study provides a context throughout all of the courses, providing a rich learning experience spanning the full software development lifecycle. 

ExperShare instructors are experienced practitioners in their respective disciplines, and bring a unique perspective to training engagements.  We teach in a qualitatively different way than a "professional instructor", given that we are bringing decades of applied experience behind concepts delivered in a classroom setting.  We draw many practical examples and stories from our own project experience when working on particular topics, framing the discussion in very practical and real terms.  We have found this to be a very effective method of teaching, as well as providing a fun and engaging learning experience for the class participants.
