Scrum Training

Applying Professional Scrum (APS) / Professional Scrum Foundations (PSF) for Teams

This 2-day course prepares teams to effectively use Scrum through a combination of hands-on exercises and lecture.  Rather than coaching teams back from a poorly functioning Scrum implementation, PSF exposes these common missteps, increases the awareness of the associated symptoms, and provides prescriptive guidance to avoid going off track.  If you're looking to get hands-on training for how to do Scrum or you're looking to boost your skills to eventually become a Scrum Master, this is the course for you.  (syllabus)

Professional Scrum Developer (PSD)

This 3-day course teaches teams how to do Scrum with Visual Studio 2018, Team Foundation Server 2018, and/or Azure DevOps. In this course, we'll instruct students on how to work in a team, using modern software engineering practices, to develop an increment of potentially releasable functionality using a specific technology platform. Students learn to do so within the Scrum framework doing iterative incremental development. Classes are exercise-driven, with students working in self-organizing teams to develop "done" increments from Product Backlog items.  (syllabus)

Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS)

This 2-day course teaches organizations how to scale their Scrum efforts beyond a single team.  The Scaled Professional Scrum workshop will show you how to launch, structure, staff, and manage a large agile or Scrum project.   (syllabus)

Technical Training

DevOps with Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps is more than just version control!  This 2-day course will help jump start your team's use of Azure DevOps. We'll start with version control and move on to cover builds, automated releases, project planning and tracking using Work Items, Scrum & Agile Projects, and QA testing.  Along the way, we'll also discuss setup, the features of source control (including branching & merging), and using Visual Studio & Azure DevOps to enforce code quality and manage code reviews.  This course is typically 2 days but can be customized for individual customers to be as short as 0.5 days.  (syllabus)

Test-Driven Development with Visual Studio
