The foundational Certified Scrum Developer course has no prerequisites (certain CSD courses may require technical knowledge—such as basic programming or hardware competency. Check individual course listings to see if any background knowledge is required).
CSD is the prerequisite for A-CSD, as well as at least 12 months of validated experience working as a scrum developer. To receive a CSP-D, you must complete the course, hold an A-CSD as a prerequisite, and validate at least 24 months of experience working as a scrum developer.
On a scrum team, the developers are accountable for creating and building the deliverables. A Certified Scrum Developer has demonstrated expertise with the scrum framework and the ability to build products in an iterative and incremental way.
Most CSD courses are best suited to people who want to become effective software developers in a scrum team. If you do not have a technical background, we recommend browsing the CSD class descriptions in the Scrum Alliance course search to find a trainer and class designed for a broader audience that includes non-technical professions.
Yes! Anyone interested in improving their ability to work in a scrum team as an agile software developer should consider the CSD course. You may be working in a non-scrum environment, looking for your next role, or interested in introducing scrum to your current workplace. Working in a scrum team is not a course requirement. The A-CSD and CSP-D do require previous experience working as a scrum developer.
