Overview

The Certified Scrum Developer Certification program is a two-part certification program to help you build a hands-on knowledge of Agile engineering principles. A skilled CSD is sought-after by organizations because of their comprehensive understanding of the technicalities of the Agile environment and their grasp on Scrum principles.

The CSD Course will help you develop a practical understanding of Scrum and make you a member of the larger Scrum Alliance community.

The program is structured so that you can develop your knowledge from the very basics if you need to, or start from the CSD Technical Training Track itself. The first of the two-part training is of two days, and familiarizes you with the Scrum principles, roles, and ceremonies. The second part is a three-day CSD Training Track. The CSD Training Track provides theory and practical sessions on code and design samples. CSM certificate holders can skip the first part of the training.

The CSD Certificate course is aimed at software developers and programmers who work in the Scrum environment. A Scrum Developer is responsible for carrying out all the work required to build increments of value every sprint.

Objectives of the course:

  • Learn the theory and concepts behind the Scrum framework: roles, events, sprints and more.
  • Learn the technical software skills required to become a Certified Product Developer.
  • Learn to develop quality software in a shorter time span.
  • Learn the object-oriented techniques needed to build extensible software.
  • Learn development and design principles and collaborative code ownership.
