Catalog Details

After teams have been exposed to the principles of Scrum, they are left wondering about the more technical aspects of software development and delivery and how these areas fit into an iterative approach. The Certified Scrum Developer Workshop extends important Scrum principles to their logical applications in several technical, foundational areas of software development.

Borrowing from a variety of Agile disciplines, the course will introduce and explain a wide range of available tools and techniques that can offer team flexibility in their Agile approach. Each subject area is accompanied by real-world examples of how they have been used in the past and the success criteria for each instance.

Based on the understanding that theory and principles solidify into practices and habits through experience, the course is comprised of numerous hands-on exercises that demonstrate the use and benefit of each practice area and technique. You will not only understand the mechanics of each technique, but you will also participate in the discovery and discussion of how to ensure the creation of value in your organization.

The Certified Scrum Developer Workshop will be of interest to:

Business and Technical Product Analysts
Project Managers
Software Engineers/Programmers

Client Testimonials

"Wow, you guys are awesome"

Kevin Hunt

"I passed my exam with 40/40. The training was helpful; I have been in IT a long time but those specific test strategies made the score what it was. My execution was as follows: I went through all 40 questions and answered what I thought was best. Then, I went back to the beginning and read every answer and made myself figure out which answers could be easily eliminated and which were more likely answers. I also noticed patterns among questions so that I could flip back and see how some questions helped with other questions' answers. I actually changed six of my answers in the second run-thru of the test; that is unusual because usually the best strategy is to go with your first answer. It was using the strategy you taught us of reading every answer and making myself figure out what the other options were (e.g. the answer was "major incident management" but the other options were the definitions of "emergency change," "release management," and "warranty") that gave me that perfect score."

"I was thrilled to pass on the 1st try! 😊 @ Hillary, thank you for hosting the training class. It was engaging and well thought out. Both , the training session, and the exam itself were conducted professionally and covered a lot of material. I wouldn’t change anything to be honest."
