Overview

Over the 3 days in this hands-on APS-SD: Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development course, students gain a real-world view of what it is like to build software with Scrum. They collaborate over a series of Sprints applying modern engineering practices, and using the Scrum framework to manage complexity. The key focus of the class is on how to develop and deliver increments of releasable functionality. Students will experience real-world challenges and issues, and through a series of Sprints will learn how to continuously improve the way they perform their work.

Professional Scrum Trainers can work with you to define a specific technology stack that meets your needs in private classes for your organization.

The course teaches how Agile engineering practices and supportive DevOps tools complement Scrum and further advance a team’s capabilities. This Agile developer course provides greatest value if the whole Scrum Team (Developers, Scrum Master and Product Owner) attend together and experience the power of real teamwork. Teams that attend together are not only able to apply learnings to their work immediately, but are also able to recall their classroom experiences to overcome particularly challenging times.

The course is available in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Java specific technologies, along with a generic technology course. Professional Scrum Trainers can work with you to define a specific technology stack that meets your needs in private classes for your organization.

Training & Certification Guide

It is not mandatory that you take a Scrum.org Professional Scrum training class to take one of our assessments, although it is highly recommended that you take the Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development training class.  We believe that certification is more than just a way to show that you attended a class and that is why Scrum.org Professional certifications are so highly regarded in the industry. Therefore, we make assessments available to anyone as a way for you to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the role of Scrum Developer in detail.  Each Scrum.org training class includes a free attempt at the corresponding assessment.

The PSD I assessment is grounded in the Professional Scrum Developer subject areas and study material is available in the Development Team Member Learning Path. The assessment is exhaustive and rigorous. Many questions ask you to think about or interpret the meaning from the Scrum Guide, apply content from the Software Developer Learning Path, the PSD I Suggested Reading, and in some cases, apply your own experience. Those that pass the PSD I assessment will receive the industry recognized PSD I certification.
