Professional Scrum Developer (.NET) Plus

Taught by Ole Rich Henningsen
November 1-5, 2010 in Copenhagen, Denmark

This course is a unique and intensive five-day experience for software developers. The course guides teams on how to turn product requirements into potentially shippable increments of software using the Scrum framework, Visual Studio 2010, and modern software engineering practices. Attendees will work in self-organizing, self-managing teams using a common instance of Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 to achieve this goal.

Course attendees are prepared to take an assessment at course completion and then become Certified Professional Scrum Developers.

Notice: This course will be given in Danish.
