Derivco is a Gaming Company built around a core value that people are at the heart of their success, and investment in those people is the foundation for their reputation for excellence. They have a deep understanding of the importance of quality, as a key area of focus in the organisation.
As part of their commitment to quality and career development, Derivco engaged Planit in providing Agile training for their team, becoming the first in South Africa to adopt the international accreditation. Due to the overwhelming success of this course, Planit was engaged for further training, delivering a total of 6 Agile courses over the space of 3 years, training in excess of 60 Derivco staff.
Having identified the need to strengthen their Agile testing practices and move towards greater efficiencies across teams, Derivco matched their learning objectives with the Agile course.
Derivco chose Planit as their training provider, with the first course being delivered on South African soil on 5-9 September 2011, training 12 of their team members. The instructor for this course was Planit’s experienced Agile Practices Consultant, Leanne Howard.
One year later, with interest in Agile rising, Planit joined with iSQI to explain this new course in a roadshow of events, presenting to an audience of over 250 attendees across Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. This also provided an excellent opportunity for Derivco and Planit to provide a retrospective on what lessons and practices had been implemented from the course.
