About Essence Certification

 
Why should you become a Certified Essence-In-Use Practitioner?

Reason One:

In today’s fast-paced constantly changing world all software practitioners should learn the things that never change (or change very slowly) related to software development because it will give them more time to spend on the new and interesting things (i.e. technologies, tools, practices) when they come along.

The fact is there are fundamentals that rarely change with respect to sound software development, but too often only the most experienced project personnel maintain a constant awareness of these fundamentals and understand how to apply them to common situations practitioners often face.

This course will help project practitioners (developers, testers, analysts, program managers, technical leaders, architects) become experts faster by sharing with them the critical knowledge that too often only resides with your most experienced people.

Reason Two:

The Essence framework is a practical and proven problem-solving tool that can be applied by practitioners, coaches and consultants along with whatever approach a team or organization or client is currently using to gain timely and measurable performance improvement. Essence is the first software engineering method independent framework developed specifically for software practitioners and coaches to help them solve their own problems.

Becoming a Certified Essence-In-Use Practitioner means you will become trained in how to use the Essence framework in a thinking capacity to coach yourself, a peer, or a less experienced team member.  When we say “coach yourself” we mean learning how to step back and think about what you need to do, given your specific project context, before making your next decision.

This course is really about critical thinking and decision-making to aid timely and measurable performance improvement.
