Just-In-Time Software Development Training May Change The Way Organizations Train Programmers
Visionpace, a software
development and training firm,

(PRWEB) -- Visionpace, a software
development and training firm,
announced a new approach to
training software developers
that it calls Perfect Coaching.
Perfect Coaching is a blend of
traditional class room style
training and on-site software
development. The key driving
principal in Perfect Coaching is
that the training is delivered
on-site, while the students are
engaged in working on a real
project.
When you send developers to
school, they solve lab problems.
When you teach them something
new on the job, they solve real
business problems, said Doug
Bliss, company COO and Perfect
Coach.
Visionpace still offers
traditional classroom training,
but developed this model as they
found many of their clients
appreciated the experiential
aspect of the training they
naturally delivered in existing
software development
engagements.
Upon fully studying the Perfect
Coaching model, Visionpace found
that traditional classroom
training:
- Depreciated as the
time-until-use increased
Developers might not utilize
what they learned in a class for
weeks or months upon returning
to the business.
- Lacked immediate feedback
When a developer returned to the
workplace to implement their new
skills, they were not able to
refine these skills without
immediate feedback from an
expert.
- Offered a one size fits all
approach People learn in many
different ways. Most traditional
classroom training must be
designed for the most novice
participant in the group.
Perfect Coaching integrates the
three keys to learning for
software developers
- Classroom approach covering
major concepts and fundamentals
- Experiential learning
real-world application of
concepts
- Self-development individual
responsibility and motivation
for learning
