Scrum Master / Scrum Developer

This course combines the traditional Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course with material designed to give the Scrum team experience in executing a project using the Scrum Framework.

• The first two days of this course are designed to present the current Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course. This is a two-day course taught by a Certified Scrum Trainer. At the end of these two days, all participants will become Certified Scrum Masters.
• Students will focus on developing working software via labs during these last three days. The format of the labs will simulate a real Scrum development cycle with one Sprint being performed each day. The daily cycle will also be reduced so that the students get exposed to multiple daily stand-up meetings as well. Students will be expected to define roles on their Scrum team, maintain the product backlog, maintain a Taskboard, calculate velocity, and develop working software that can be demonstrated.
• Project introduction
• Build the Product Backlog - Students will create the product backlog stories, provide estimates, and prioritize based on business value.
• Release Planning
• Through the use of abbreviated Sprints, the students will experience 3 Sprints that will result in working software for version 1 of the product.
• A release planning meeting will be held to evaluate the product backlog and determine what stories will be included in the 3 Sprints.
• The product backlog and release plans will be reviewed as a group
• Introduction to Test Driven Development & Agile Development Lecture
• Students will be presented information regarding Test Driven Development (TDD) and Agile Development principles and practices
• Students will be expected to follow TDD during the remainder of this course
• Sprint Planning - Students will perform a sprint planning meeting for each Sprint in order to review the stories, develop tasks, and establish the Taskboard for the Sprint.
• Sprint - This particular sprint will contain simulations for 2 working days. Students will participate in daily standup meetings and work on completing tasks that provide working software to complete the stories on the product backlog
• Sprint Review - Students will hold a Sprint Review Meeting to demonstrate their working software to either the instructor individually or the class as a whole
• Sprint Retrospective - Students will hold a Sprint Retrospective Meeting and identify things that worked well and things that could use improvement. They are expected to identify at least one item that could use improvement and focus on that item during the next Sprint
