Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development

Over the 3 days, you'll gain a real-world view of what it is like to build software with Scrum. You'll 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. You'll experience real-world challenges and issues, and through a series of Sprints will learn how to continuously improve the way you perform your work.

The class teaches how Agile engineering practices and supportive DevOps tools complement Scrum and further advance a team's capabilities.

The course is available in languages such as .NET, Java, Python, PHP, Go, C++ and there is also a generic technology course. The .NET version was developed in partnership with Microsoft® and is the official training solution for Microsoft Visual Studio. Your Professional Scrum Trainer can work with you to define a specific technology stack that meets your needs in conjunction with the other students.

Who Should Attend this Class?

The APS for Software Development class is intended for all members of a Scrum Team involved in developing and delivering software based systems including: architects, analysts, programmers, database developers, testers, managers, IT-Operations and others, including Scrum Masters and Product Owners. 

This class provides greatest value if the whole Scrum Team (Developers, Scrum Master and Product Owner) attends together and experiences 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.

Of course, this class is also valuable to individuals attending without their entire team. You'll experience working on a Scrum Team during the class and be able to transfer your learnings to your teammates, often convincing them the advantages of using Scrum, Agile and DevOps practices.
