Certified Scrum Developer® Training

Participants will come away with understanding and experience in the most important agile development practices – ready to start to introduce them in their daily work or to improve their current practice.

The course is based around sprints. During these sprints you will work in teams and experience the full range of agile development practices (testing driven development, pair programming, automated acceptance testing, refactoring, continuous integration). The practical work is interspersed with short theoretical sections and group discussion.

The course is suitable for Scrum development team members including programmers and testers. Some of the practical work requires some knowledge of Java although participants do not need to be experts.

In the Certified Scrum Developer training course, you will learn about the following topics:

• Test-driven development
• Pair programming
• Coding Kata
• Setting up the course development environment
• Group work: analysing the approach for automated acceptance and unit testing in the course project
• Product backlog refinement
• Mocks and other test doubles
• Refactoring
• Agile architecture
• Code craftsmanship
• Code sense
• Course retrospective
• Questions and Answers

“Simon is an outstanding agile trainer and empathic agile coach. He has vast software development experience and is a fantastic story teller. Simon skilfully introduces agile concepts and practices and knows exactly how to bring his ideas across. What fascinates me about Simon is his ability to connect with people and get a detailed sense of their needs. He shares a wealth of experience, knowledge, techniques and approaches and sows seeds of insights and a deeper understanding of Agile and lean, that truly grow and transform the way one works and collaborates. Shortly said, if you really want to transform to agile, Simon is your man.” Anna
