Overview

The 3-day Professional Scrum Developer course provides a real-world view of what it is like to build software with Scrum. Throughout the course, students collaborate together as a team in a series of Sprints where they apply modern engineering practices and use the Scrum framework to cope with changes. Over the 3 days, 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 course is available in .Net/C#, Java, C++, MEAN, Embedded C, Mobile Apps, Python, Mainframe, Ruby and functional programming technologies, or trainers can work with your specific technology stack to make the course meet your specific needs.
