In Release Duration and Enterprise Agility, Daniel explores how the adoption of Scrum and Agile by the example company, Citrix Online, drove release duration down from a peak of 41 months to less than 4, better than what it had as a small startup. Its market share rose during the same period.

Data from another company, PatientKeeper, also seems to indicate that short release durations correlate with more profitable outcomes. Learn about all the benefits of short release durations in this free webcast.

Those that have completed the 5-day PSD program, now called PSD+, have experienced a learning environment that is unrivaled in today's marketplace. Students are exposed to the fundamentals of Scrum and then they are taken through 4-5 sprints of actual development work on a cross-functional team, using cutting edge tools and software development best practices, to build a potentially releasable increment of software.

However, a number of people have told us they need something else. These people want the experience, the exposure, and the rigor of the PSD+ program. But, they don’t necessarily need the “Scrumdamentals” portion of the course, or all five Sprints to understand the cadence of Scrum. These practitioners need something that leverages their existing knowledge of Scrum development, while still giving them the additional tools to super-charge their productivity.

This is why today we are announcing the launch of this much-requested program for Developers who have a good working understanding of Scrum (from professional experience, or a previous Scrum course like Professional Scrum Foundations). It is PSD+, just condensed for those folks that have already built up their Scrum foundation. You can learn more here.

One particular change was arguably small and cosmetic, but it really has significance in Steve Porter's opinion. So much so, that he offered to write a brief article to explain why the change was made and how you can interpret these changes as you go about implementing them in your projects. Read more here.
