Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development

Live Virtual Class, June 28-30, 2021

Class Overview

The 3-day Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development course provides a real-world view of what it is like to build software with Scrum. Throughout the course, students collaborate as a team in a series of Sprints where they apply modern engineering practices and use the Scrum framework to cope with changes. Students experience how to deliver quality software using Scrum with Agile and DevOps practices. Students learn how to develop increments of potentially releasable functionality from a realistic Product Backlog over three days. Students concurrently do requirements engineering, design, development, Testing, Integration, and deployment within a single iteration. The course teaches how Agile engineering practices and supportive DevOps practices improve a team's capabilities even more.

About Coaches

Teaching is an essential skill for agile coaches, and our coaches demonstrate the same while teaching. To retain our values, we don't engage 3rd party or outside trainer just to do business. Teaching is a way to communicate the values that we bring to an organization.  We are a group of 6 coaches, and all have unique skills and share a shared vision and goal. You can read more about them on our website.

 Who needs this program?

The Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development course is intended for all Scrum Team members to develop and deliver software-based systems. It is including architects, analysts, programmers, database developers, testers, managers, IT-Operations, and others, including Scrum Masters and Product Owners. This course provides the most significant value if the whole Scrum Team (Developers, Scrum Master, and Product Owner) attend together and experience the power of real teamwork. Teams that attend together are not only able to apply learnings to their work immediately but are also able to recall their classroom experiences to overcome particularly challenging times. This class is also valuable to individuals attending without their entire team. These students will experience working on a Scrum Team during the course. They will be able to transfer their learnings to their teammates, often convincing their teammates of the advantages of using Scrum, Agile, and DevOps practices.

Prerequisite

There is no prerequisite, but attendees will be able to make the most of the class if they:

  • Have studied the Scrum Guide (http://www.scrumguides.org)
  • Have taken the Scrum Open (free online assessment)
  • Have experience in software development as a developer, tester, UI designer, Business Analyst, DBA, or DevOps engineer

Certification

This course has the Professional Scrum Developer level I (PSD I) as an associated credential. All participants completing the Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development course receive a password from taking the PSD I assessment. This industry-recognized certification requires a minimum passing score on the associated rigorous examination. Scrum.org maintains a public list with everyone holding a PSD I credential.
