Overview

Spec-Driven Development with Kiro is a two-day, instructor-led training course designed for developers, software engineers, and technical leads adopting AI-assisted, agentic development practices. The course teaches the principles of agentic coding and how to apply them using Kiro, the agentic IDE for software development. Participants learn to plan and implement features through Kiro Feature Specs and Bugfix Specs, control agent behavior with steering files and execution modes, and extend agent capabilities with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and Kiro Powers. The course also covers automating workflows with agent hooks, packaging reusable expertise with agent skills and custom subagents, and configuring projects for team collaboration and enterprise governance. Handson labs are interleaved with module content throughout each day. On Day 1, learners progressively build a weather application using each Kiro capability as it is taught. On Day 2, learners deploy, extend, and team-enable a pre-built micro-blogging application.
