Deliver Quality Software Frequently

Scrum.org’s 3-Day Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development (APS-SD) course provides hands-on training to help you deliver quality software frequently using Scrum with Agile and DevOps practices.

During this APS-SD class, you'll experience working as part of a Scrum Team, creating code on a realistic software system and learning how to deliver increments of releasable functionality. Though a blend of interactive exercises and instruction within a case study, you'll gain a real-world view of what it's like to build software with Scrum. You'll navigate challenges and issues as you learn how to continuously improve the quality of your work.

Over a series of Sprints, you'll apply modern Agile engineering practices and use the Scrum Framework to manage complexity. Key competencies such as emergent software development, managing technical risk and Continuous Integration (CI)/Continuous Delivery (CD) will be covered, along with complementary practices that can further advance your capabilities.

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

After participating in this class, you'll receive a free attempt at the Professional Scrum Developer I (PSD I) assessment and an opportunity to earn the industry-recognized PSD I Certification.  Earning your PSD I Certification makes you part of an elite community of 22,000+ PSD I badge holders from around the globe and unlike other Scrum training and certification organizations, your certification will never expire nor require future renewal fees.
