Certified Scrum Developer – 5 days
Course Overview
According to Scrum Alliance (www.scrumalliance.org), “Certified Scrum Developers have demonstrated — through a combination of formal training and a technical skills assessment — that they have a working understanding of Scrum principles, and have learned specialized Agile engineering skills. The Certified Scrum Developer course is designed for software developers (programmers) who are building software in a Scrum environment. The goal is to expose students to the most important tools and techniques needed to build good software in the iterative and incremental fashion that Scrum requires. These ideas are central to the entire field of Agile software development.
A successful Scrum Developer is committed to continuous improvement. The coursework and dedication needed to achieve a CSD sharpen the participant’s skills to help to become a better practitioner of Scrum. By earning a Certified Scrum Developer certification, you:
- Learn the foundations of Scrum and the scope of the Certified Scrum Developer’s role from the best minds in Scrum.
- Demonstrate to employers and peers your understanding of core Scrum knowledge.
- Expand your career opportunities by staying relevant and marketable across all industry sectors adopting Agile practices.
- Engage with a community of recognized Scrum experts who are committed to continuous improvement.”

Part 2: CSD technical course, including coding (3 days)
Description:
The Certified Scrum Developer course is designed for software developers and programmers who are designing software in a Scrum environment. The goal is to expose the most important tools and techniques that are needed to be applied to design software in the iterative and incremental fashion. These ideas are central to the entire field of Agile software development.
The Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) Learning objectives cover the critical skills in coding, testing, refactoring, continuous integration, and other related topics that are needed for successful team software development in the Scrum style. The course involves actual programming in a team environment. This course notwithstanding is a programming course, not a survey, overview, or discussion. This training will enhance your technical skills in Agile software development.
This Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) training which will allow performing test-driven development, acceptance test-driven development, refactoring, and continuous integration in a course provided sandbox situation. You will be familiar with the terms and practices involved, and with why these practices are important. This is the first steps toward becoming an expert in Scrum-style iterative and incremental development.
