PROFESSIONAL SCRUM DEVELOPER (PSD)
The Professional Scrum Developer (PSD) course is a practitioner-focused program designed to equip software developers and engineers with the skills required to build high-quality products using Scrum while applying modern engineering practices. The PSD certification is administered by Scrum.org and validates a developer's ability to work effectively within a Scrum Team, collaborate closely with the Product Owner, and deliver potentially releasable increments every Sprint. This course emphasizes technical excellence, collaboration, and empiricism, blending Scrum theory with hands-on development practices such as continuous integration, automated testing, refactoring, and DevOps-aware delivery. It prepares participants for the PSD assessment while strengthening real-world product development capability.
