Course description

Scrum focuses on coordination and feedback practices, adding technical practices allow teams to grow systems with confidence and safety. This intensive, hands on course will let you experience how these practices feed back into the Scrum loop and can enhance predictability while increasing velocity. We will cover powerful practices including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, Pair Programming, Incremental Design, and Continuous Integration.
