Professional Scrum Developer (.NET) Plus

Taught by Eric Mignot
June 21-25, 2010 in Paris, France

Pyxis Technologies is proud to announce the first Professional Scrum Developer Course held in France.

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.

This course will be given in French. If you are interested to take this class in English or Spanish, contact me.

Registration for this class has closed.

Form effective teams
Explore and understand legacy “Brownfield” architecture
Define quality attributes, acceptance criteria, and “done”
Create automated builds
How to handle software hotfixes

Inspect and improve your team’s software development process

This course is a mix of lecture, demonstration, group discussion, simulation, and hands-on software development. The bulk of the course will be spent working as a team on a case study application delivering increments of new functionality in mini-sprints.
