Class
Professional Scrum Developer (.NET) Plus
Taught by Steve Porter
April 19-23, 2010 in Winnipeg, Canada
The Professional Scrum Developer course, created in partnership with Ken Schwaber, 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.
Registration for this class has closed.
