Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development

The Professional Scrum Developer (PSD) course is THE course that teaches how to create great software using the Scrum framework. Students learn how to develop increments of potentially releasable functionality from a realistic Product Backlog. Students concurrently do requirements engineering, design, development, testing, integration, and deployment within a single iteration. The course teaches how Agile engineering practices and supportive ALM tools improve a team’s capabilities even more.

The workshop introduces the mechanics of Scrum and provides insights into complexity, team-based collaboration and self-organization as essential elements in mastering Scrum. Participants will learn how the Scrum framework improves product development and delivery. From its emphasis on practical application the course exposes common missteps, increases the awareness of the associated symptoms, and provides prescriptive guidance to avoid going off track.
