Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development (APS-SD) with PSD I Certification Training

About Course

The 3-day Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development (APS-SD) course provides a real-world view of what it is like to build software with Scrum. Throughout the course, students collaborate as a team in a series of Sprints where they apply modern engineering practices and use the Scrum framework to cope with changes.

Students experience how to deliver quality software using Scrum with Agile and DevOps practices. Students learn how to develop increments of potentially releasable functionality from a realistic Product Backlog over the three days. Students concurrently do requirements engineering, design, development, testing, integration, and deployment within a single iteration.
