DevOps with Custom Query for Scrum Teams

2 days

Overview

This 2-day course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to leverage DevOps tools and practices within a Scrum framework. The course will focus on creating and utilizing custom queries to effectively manage and track the activities and progress of Scrum teams in a DevOps environment. Participants will learn how to tailor queries for sprint management, backlog refinement, and progress tracking, alongside exploring the essential DevOps principles that enable efficient collaboration, continuous integration, and deployment.
