Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development

The Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development course is a unique and intensive experience intended for anyone involved in software development. The course guides teams on how to turn product requirements into business value in the form of potentially-releasable increments of software. This is done using the students’ choice of DevOps tools/technologies, and modern Agile development practices. This course mixes lecture, demonstration, group discussion, and hands-on software development.

Note:This course can be run using Visual Studio, Java, or generically (where the client decides the exact tools).

By the end of this course you will:

  • Experience real collaboration between the Developers, Product Owner and Scrum Master in the quest of building and delivering a high quality and valuable product.
  • Build and deliver working software by applying modern Agile engineering practices and supportive DevOps tools.
  • Understand the synergy between the various elements of Scrum and complementary practices.
  • Leave the class with ways to identify common pitfalls and how to avoid them
