Who Is This Training For
Software Developers
Build apps that behave reliably under load by understanding performance‑impacting design choices.
Solution Architects & Business Analysts
Define implementable requirements and ensure systems stay stable by understanding behaviour.
QA & Test Automation Engineers
Validate performance early by designing realistic scenarios and integrating meaningful performance signals.
DevOps & Platform Engineers
Keep releases predictable by managing performance signals, quality gates, and production‑ready workflows.
Performance Engineering Skills You'll Develop
Develop performance engineering skills to avoid pitfalls, make better design decisions, and deliver predictable behaviour in production.
Performance‑Focused Engineering Decisions
Understand how design choices impact performance and what drives stable system behavior.
Identifying & Avoiding Performance Anti‑Patterns
Spot common design and workflow pitfalls early to prevent instability and slowdowns.
Practical Use of Tools & Lightweight Performance Validation
Apply the right signals and simple tests to validate performance inside agile workflows.
Operational Readiness & Performance Quality Gates
Ensure predictable releases with clear performance criteria, proper handover, and production‑aware feedback loops.
Course Content
Introduction to Performance Engineering
Performance Engineering Principles in Agile
Performance Quality Gates Designed for Agile Delivery
Discover how to build realistic, maturity‑aligned performance gates, use one‑user tests and automation effectively, and introduce checks that protect performance without slowing the team.
Release Flow and Operational Handover
Wrap-Up
Summarises the key principles and shows how to apply them as a repeatable process—replacing superhero testing with team‑level engineering habits that work across tools, stacks and organisations.

Why Agile Teams Need Performance Engineering
Performance isn’t a task — it’s an engineering habit.
Everyday design choices shape performance. Shared practices prevent issues long before testing.
Frequent releases magnify even small inefficiencies.
Agile delivery amplifies tiny flaws. Lightweight validation and clear limits keep shipping predictable.
Stable delivery requires shared performance expectations.
A consistent baseline across Dev, QA, DevOps and Ops reduces friction and makes quality gates actionable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this training for?
Developers, Solution Architects, Business Analysts, QA/Test Automation and DevOps professionals working in agile teams who need to build and release applications with predictable performance.
Do I need coding skills to attend this training?
No. The training does not teach coding. It teaches how engineering decisions, patterns, limitations and validation techniques impact performance in an agile delivery workflow — independent of programming languages.
What engineering knowledge is required?
Basic understanding of how software systems work (APIs, services, data flows, environments) is enough. You do not need prior experience in performance testing, SRE or observability.
Is this training specific to a certain architecture or technology?
No. The practices are architecture‑agnostic and work with microservices, monoliths, cloud, on‑prem and mixed environments — because the course is built around agile engineering principles, not a tech stack.
How practical is the training?
It focuses on real performance issues teams face in agile environments: common pitfalls, anti‑patterns, simple validation techniques, and how to build a repeatable performance process without relying on a “superhero tester”.
What materials and templates will I receive?
You will receive these practical, reusable resources that support agile performance engineering:
- Performance Quality Gate Template
- Common Performance Pitfalls Checklist
- Little’s Law Workload Modelling Calculator
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Every participant receives an official Certificate of Completion.
