Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development

Live Virtual Class, June 9-11, 2020

Class Overview

Professional Scrum Developer™ (PSD) is a 3-day hands-on course where you will experience how to deliver quality software using Scrum with Agile and DevOps practices. Students will work as a Scrum Team or multiple Scrum Teams depending on class size, creating real code on a realistic software system. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Developer certification exam (PSD).

 

Online Training

This will be held virtually. This class will be using PHP and Microsoft DevOps.

Developers are asked to use their own computers, with their working space, with their IDE and Git client installed.

They shall have administrator privileges to their machine. 

 

What You Will Learn

Over the 3 days, students gain a real-world view of what it is like to build software with Scrum. Throughout the course, students collaborate over a series of Sprints. They apply modern engineering practices and use the Scrum framework to cope with changes. There is a key focus on having students learn how to develop and deliver increments of potentially releasable functionality from a realistic Product Backlog. By doing so, students will experience real-world challenges and issues and will learn how to handle them by continuously improving during the Sprint cycles.

The course teaches how Agile engineering practices and supportive DevOps tools improve a team’s capabilities even more.

This course is available for Java or .Net developers. We will be using the Microsoft ALM tools (DevOps) to demonstrate and create automated tasks.
