Certified Scrum Developer

Once again due to high demand: Certified Scrum Training (CSM and CSD!) with Agile-founder Chet Hendrickson!

Art lessons from Rembrandt, piano lessons from Mozart, or soccer lessons from Johan Cruijff; some opportunities are too good to let pass by. This is one of them. The upcoming Certified Scrum Developer and Certified Scrum Master courses at Qualogy will be given by one of the founders of Agile:

Chet Hendrickson!

This March 2015 he'll be flown in especially for these courses. We believe our customers shouldn’t just receive a new title, but should leave our training with deep understanding of Agile and Scrum. And where better to learn than at the source!

As Chet is not in the neighbourhood every day, we recommend reserving your place for the following dates as soon as possible:

I -> Certified Scrum Master with Chet Hendrickson, March 30-31
II -> Certified Scrum Developer with Chet Hendrickson, April 1-2-3

You can sign up for this course filling out this form. We’ll contact you for further details.

About Chet Hendrickson:
Chet has been involved with Agile from the start, as team-lead of the XP-team, and first signatory of the Agile Manifesto. In 1996, he presented the ideas that later became XP together with Chet Hendrickson, and they’ve helped many team become Agile since.

About Qualogy:
Qualogy places a very high value to the technical practices of Agile, just as Chet does. That is why we’ve asked them to not just give their Certified Scrum Master training, but also for the first time offer their Certified Scrum Developer training here in the Netherlands.

This course, based on the famous ‘XP immersion’ course that was originally developed by Ron together with Kent Beck and ‘Uncle Bob’ Martin, is a three-day experience in which a (Java or C#) developer learns the technical practices of Extreme Programming that are necessary to make a Scrum project a success.

With the combined course:
All the above advantages, squared. Or, quoting Jeff Sutherland, Chairman of the Scrum Foundation: “Using SCRUM management practices with the extreme programming engineering practices inside, is where we see the fastest teams.”
