Certified Scrum Developer (CSD)

After teams have been exposed to the principles of Scrum, they are left wondering about the more technical aspects of software development and delivery and how these areas fit into an iterative approach. This course extends important Scrum principles to their logical applications in several technical, foundational areas of software development.

Borrowing from a variety of Agile disciplines, the course will introduce and explain a wide range of available tools and techniques that can offer team flexibility in their Agile approach. Each subject area is accompanied by real-world examples of how they have been used in the past and the success criteria for each instance.

Based on the understanding that theory and principles solidify into practices and habits through experience, the course is comprised of numerous hands-on exercises that demonstrate the use and benefit of each practice area and technique. You will not only understand the mechanics of each technique, but you will also participate in the discovery and discussion of how to ensure the creation of value in your organization.

The goal of this workshop is to put to use what you learned through books and lectures to determine how to utilize that knowledge, including how to ensure that your team is improving over time. With this proven approach, you will leave the class with practical knowledge and a clear roadmap for your team's success.
