ADVANCED CERTIFIED

SCRUM DEVELOPER

certification · Scrum Alliance

Without technical practices, Scrum will fail. Strengthen your skills as a collaborative team member and technical lead — tackling real code, automated tests, and technical debt alongside your team.

This hands-on course strengthens your skills as a collaborative Scrum team member and technical lead. The techniques build your confidence to tackle existing code bases, add automated tests, make the code more maintainable, and reduce bugs that escape the sprint.

Who it's for: Software developers (programmers) building software in an Agile environment — anyone involved in creating your software solutions who wants to strengthen the technical practices behind Scrum.

Led by CST & Technical Coach Paul Moore

Trainer Paul Moore is a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and specialized Educator for the Scrum Alliance developer track — CSD, A-CSD, and CSP-D. Paul is an expert Agile Technical Coach dedicated to restoring the "engineering" in software engineering, bringing decades of hands-on experience in high-stakes development environments to every class.

Scrum without the engineering
isn’t built to last

The problem is…

Technical debt keeps piling up with no clear plan to pay it down
Bugs keep escaping the sprint and eroding stakeholder trust
Your team lacks a shared practice for automated testing
Continuous integration feels aspirational, not real
Design decisions get made ad hoc instead of deliberately
Cross-team dependencies keep slowing your delivery down

This hands-on course strengthens your skills as a collaborative Scrum team member and technical lead — building your confidence to tackle existing code bases, add automated tests, and reduce bugs that escape the sprint.

What You’ll Learn

The Core Technical Practices

Learn the technical practices that turn Scrum theory into working, maintainable software.

Continuous Integration

Experience fast feedback loops that catch problems early.

Code Quality Measurement

Measure your code to identify and manage quality over time.

Automated Testing & Test Doubles

Go deeper into automated tests that guide design, confirm behavior, and isolate your work from slow outside dependencies.

Technical Debt Management

Decide when to take on technical debt, and how to pay it down deliberately.

Emergent Design

Respond to changing business demands without a rigid up-front design.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Practice ways to work effectively with the teams your team depends on.

FAQ

Do I need deep expertise in a specific programming language?

No. Deep language skills aren't required — exercises focus more on agile development techniques and are offered in many popular languages including Java, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C++, and PHP. This is a hands-on programming course: actual code will be written, tested, and reviewed.

What do I need to earn the A-CSD certification?

You'll need to complete the course and its assignments, validate 12+ months of experience working as a Scrum Developer/team member, and hold an earned CSD with the Scrum Alliance (it need not be currently active).

What do I need to attend the live workshop?

Since the class is highly interactive, you'll need a camera and microphone to participate. You should have an integrated development environment (VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, etc.) installed. A GitHub account and basic familiarity with git repositories is useful but not a strict requirement.

Who should attend this course?

Software developers (programmers) building software in an Agile environment — anyone comfortable crafting code solutions as part of a team, including hands-on developers and quality-focused testers.
