Learning Objectives

Lean, Agile & Scrum

  1. Retrospectives, modeling, & visualization to continuously improve your team's process.
  2. A minimal & changeable "Definition of Done" to clearly delineate when work is ready to move downstream.
  3. Managing multi-team dependencies.
  4. Transparently communicate technical challenges in terms of business impact.

Collaboration & Team Dynamics

  1. Effective Pair Programming & Ensemble (aka "Mob") Programming.
  2. Experience how cross-functional collaboration reduces hand-offs and improves cycle-time.
  3. Effective time-management to reduce stress as well as unpleasant surprises.

Architecture & Design

  1. Compare up-front and emergent architecture.
  2. Modern software design principles & heuristics.
  3. Applying those principles through practices.
  4. Measure software qualities and respond to the results. 

Refactoring

  1. The business value of refactoring.
  2. The causes and cures for technical debt.
  3. Use "Code Smells" to communicate and manage code design challenges.

Test Driven Development (TDD)

  1. Use TDD effectively to build software.
  2. The attributes of a good unit test (aka microtest).
  3. When and how to refactor tests.
  4. Other forms of Agile testing and how they fit together.
  5. Compare TDD to Behavior Driven Development (BDD).
  6. Use test-doubles to manage external dependencies.

 Continuous Integration/Delivery

  1. Overcome CI/DevOps challenges.
  2. Create a simple & effective build pipeline.
  3. Definition and benefits of Continuous Delivery (CD).
  4. Practices supporting CD.
  5. Describe a CD pipeline.

Key Concept

Using Scrum for software development requires software engineering skills and practices that support iterative and incremental development over the long term.

The “Core Four” are:
  1. A test-first approach (Test-Driven Development or Behavior Driven Development),
  2. Continuous Collaboration (pair programming or ensemble programming),
  3. continuous integration (specifically "trunk-based development"), and...
  4. most critically, the ability to refactor diligently.

Is Advanced Certified Scrum Developer® the Right Course For Me?

Experience all aspects of Scrum team software development using the Scrum Developer Practices.
This 2 day (14 hour) course immerses you into a small Scrum team crafting actual software using various Scrum Developer Practices.

Practices include pair-programming, Test-Driven Development, refactoring, trunk-based development, Collective Code Stewardship, Emergent Design, and others (depending on time and participant interest).

Your instructor was an Agile developer-coach for many years, and used these very practices full-time on various products. From that experience he has designed exercises that are educational, relevant, and fun.

Please note that CSD is a prerequisite for this advanced course. Fortunately, CSD and A-CSD can be scheduled together and purchased together. Also, some experience with a modern programming language is required.
