Professional Scrum Developer (PSD) training courses teach attendees how to use modern software engineering practices to develop an increment of completed, potentially shippable functionality.  They will be taught how to do so within the Scrum framework, working as part of self-organizing cross-functional teams, doing iterative, incremental development.

PSD classes will be conducted by trainers that are skilled in using development practices and tools within a Scrum context.  These individuals are assessed, trained, mentored, and monitored by Scrum.org and training organizations as Scrum Developer Trainers.

PSD classes are exercise driven.  Attendees will work in teams and develop done increments from product backlog items.  The workshops will be five days long.  At the conclusion of a course, attendees will assess their knowledge and skills, the results of which will be mapped on the Scrum Knowledge chart for their own use.  This will facilitate their ability to track their professional improvement throughout their careers.

PSD classes are based on specific technology stacks.  Initially, one will cover Microsoft .NET, and one will cover Java technologies.  Others may be offered in the future.  Teams will work hands-on, to deliver potentially shippable software in the respective technology. 

For more information about the program with Microsoft utilizing .NET, you can watch the short video on the right with Sam Guckenheimer, Product Owner of the VS product line, and Ken Schwaber, the co-creator of Scrum.

PSD classes are being offered worldwide.  To find a Professional Scrum Developer course in your area, visit the Courses page.
