In the era of the Great Resignation, Dojos act as a counterforce. Dojos are a great way to engage employees and increase their job satisfaction. They provide a structured environment where employees can learn new skills, collaborate with others, and get feedback on their work. This engagement contributes to the retention of top talent and the creation of a positive work environment.
Our continuous remote approach ensures efficient upskilling without disrupting daily workflows. Traditional learning often demands substantial time away, impacting productivity and potentially leading to learning tiredness. With our program, there’s no need for a prolonged, intensive 5-day class in a remote location, sparing companies from associated costs like allowances and travel-costs.
We’ve designed the program’s time commitment to seamlessly integrate into the daily rhythm of your company. This approach allows developers to enhance their skills without compromising productivity or facing the challenges associated with extended physical classes.
Dojos offer a safe and supportive space for experimentation and learning. This environment is essential for fostering continuous improvement and driving innovation. By encouraging a mindset of exploration, risk-taking, and shared learning, Dojos become incubators for creative solutions, contributing to the organization’s capacity for sustained innovation.
Effective communication is foundational, and our Dojos are designed to break down silos, promoting cross-functional collaboration. This involves disrupting traditional structures, establishing unified channels, fostering a product mindset, and implementing Team Topology, with a focus on stream alignment teams. The ultimate goal is to achieve real DevOps teams through seamless collaboration, transforming it into a strategic initiative that enables swift adaptation and cultivates a culture of success.
Dojos actively promote collaboration and knowledge sharing among developers, cultivating a culture of teamwork and shared responsibility. This not only enhances individual efficiency but also significantly boosts overall employee satisfaction. By building a self-sustaining community that values collective success, Dojos contribute to a positive and fulfilling work environment.
Dojos go beyond traditional learning styles, boasting an impressive retention rate of over 90%, in stark contrast to the typical ~10%. This achievement is anchored in the neuroscience-backed Pyramid of Learning, ensuring that acquired knowledge is not only absorbed but also retained over the long term with continuous practice. The methodology leverages insights from the latest neuroscience research, aligning with how the brain best processes and retains information.
We provide a structured environment where you can learn, practice, and enhance your coding skills under the guidance of experienced mentors and coaches. You’ll not only learn new techniques and improve your problem-solving skills but safely embrace modern SW Craftsmanship best practices, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and mastery. Say stop to the stress and the fear of deployment.
Dojos are a lot of fun! They offer a dynamic environment where you can meet new people, learn exciting things, and challenge yourself. This fun atmosphere creates a positive and engaging learning environment, making the entire experience both productive and enjoyable.
Build confidence in your abilities as a developer taking part in the dojo. As you practice your skills and receive feedback from others, you’ll start to feel more confident in your ability to solve problems and write high-quality code. This increased confidence promotes a culture of self-improvement and innovation.
A dojo class is a vibrant space to meet and learn from diverse developers. This collaborative environment allows you to share your knowledge and experiences while gaining insights and perspectives from others. This exchange of knowledge fosters a culture of continuous improvement and lifelong learning.
Participating in Dojos is an excellent way to engage with the software craftsmanship community. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with passionate developers dedicated to refining their craft. This collaborative spirit strengthens the community and promotes the sharing of best practices.
Being involved in a dojo provides an invaluable opportunity to receive constructive feedback on your code from experienced developers. This feedback not only helps you identify areas for improvement but also exposes you to new techniques and approaches, contributing to ongoing learning and the adoption of best practices.
Practicing each week can help you to break out of your comfort zone and explore new horizons. Exposure to different techniques, programming languages, and innovative approaches in software development expands your perspectives and encourages the adoption of fresh ideas.

Rather than creating a novel learning approach, we’ve harnessed proven practices fortified by extensive research in neuroscience, and behavioral psychology. These techniques, akin to coaching methods employed by Olympic teams to foster excellence beyond conventional stereotypes, shape our program, ensuring a transformative and high-impact learning experience.
Unlike traditional training where information retention typically drops by less than 10% after 30 days, our approach is different. Through daily homework, we not only foster the reliable formation of new habits and reduce the cognitive load required for application but also advance from temporary rewiring of the brain to permanent. This results in a more sustainable learning, significantly outperforming the conventional training models.
Revolutionizing the learning experience, our gamification techniques introduce short feedback loops. This not only facilitates cost-effective corrections but also provides an endorphin boost to students, making the journey engaging, rewarding, and uniquely effective. Step into a world where learning is not just a process but an exhilarating role-play experience, setting us apart in the realm of education.
We’ve structured our course into a comprehensive belt system, like in Judo, meticulously designed to gauge students’ mastery levels. With each belt typically earned in just 3 months, this not only offers a tangible measure of progress but also keeps students consistently motivated to excel in the subsequent challenges. It’s a dynamic advancement process that fuels motivation.
Experience the guidance of our seasoned coaches through engaging 2-hour remote classes each week. We prioritize continuous improvement by adapting the curriculum based on valuable student feedback.
