Anti-patterns
- One-Size-Fits-All Approach: Designing a curriculum that does not account for varying skill levels or learning styles among team members.
- Lack of Iteration: Not updating the curriculum based on feedback and evolving industry standards.
- Insufficient Practical Application: Focusing too heavily on theoretical knowledge without practical, hands-on opportunities to apply learned skills.
