Agile Developer Skills

Scrum’s incremental-iterative approach to software development requires Development Teams to find, learn, and implement solid technical practices.  In recognition of this, the Scrum Alliance has created the Certified Scrum Developer program.  This course is the first to meet the Scrum Alliance requirements for training in support of the CSD rating.

Developers on Scrum teams, or on other forms of Agile teams, or who are interested in preparing to work on such teams, will benefit from this course. You will experience real team-based iterative development of software under the guidance of a Product Owner. You’ll get exposure to how to do the necessary and desirable practices, and some experience doing them.

  3 days        12-24 trainee

This course is three days that provide the full Agile experience, including planning, guidance, development, and testing. With very little lecture, the course takes development teams through several full iterations of a realistic sample product development. Participants will gain experience with all the central aspects of Agile software development, including iteration and release planning, test-driven development, pair programming, and customer testing.

The course is appropriate for individual software developers and development teams who want to experience Agile development for the first time, or to sharpen their skills in Agile.

Course Prerequisites

• Working knowledge of Java/Eclipse or C#/VisualStudio.  This is a course for developers after all.
• A laptop with Java and Eclipse installed.  We will use pair-programming for all coding exercises, so even if you don’t have a laptop we will pair you with someone who does. If one, please plan to set up Java/Eclipse and bring it.
