Benefits of the CSD

In today's competitive job market, Certified Scrum Developer training sets you apart. Scrum is widely used in software development and engineering. Having a badge that shows your practical skills in this agile framework differentiates you from other job candidates.

Furthermore, the knowledge you gain in the course and as a Scrum Alliance member supports your ability to do your job well. You'll be prepared to collaborate effectively with your team, use scrum events to make decisions quickly and move work forward, and ultimately build a product that customers and stakeholders applaud.

The benefits of earning the CSD include:

  • Demonstrate to employers and peers your understanding of core scrum knowledge
  • Expand your career opportunities by staying relevant and marketable across all industry sectors by adopting agile practices
  • Engage with a community of recognized scrum experts who are committed to continuous improvement

Audience

This course is designed for software developers, engineers, and technical professionals who want to strengthen their Agile engineering skills and gain practical experience applying Scrum in real-world development environments.

It is ideal for members of Scrum Teams who actively contribute to building products — including developers, programmers, testers, architects, and technical leads.

While the course focuses on technical practices, it is also valuable for anyone involved in product development who seeks to improve collaboration, code quality, and delivery effectiveness within an Agile framework.

What you´ll learn:

In this course, you will be introduced to essential skills and concepts, including how to:

  • Transform product backlog items into increments of value 
  • Use a sprint backlog to forecast a sustainable amount of work you can complete that will create the next increment of the product
  • Carry out a daily scrum to synchronize your work with your teammates
  • Use scrum events to improve team self-management and collaboration
  • Apply architectural and design principles in an agile environment, emphasizing technical excellence
  • Define and understand the principles of refactoring, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and Continuous Integration (CI), including their benefits and how they support agile practices

While many CSD courses are technical, some of the course listings from Scrum Alliance-approved trainers can be taken by anyone. Those courses focus on the scrum team member known as a "developer" and the skills they teach can be applied to any job in which you are making a product or service. 

Earning the Certified Scrum Developer certification is a commitment to elevating your understanding and application of scrum. The process of earning the CSD ensures all candidates have not only learned but can also apply scrum in real-world scenarios. 

Here’s what is required to attain the CSD certification:

  • Complete at least 14 hours of formal training by a Scrum Alliance-approved CSD Trainer
  • Demonstrate an understanding of scrum and agile practices through a CSD assessment, which could be an exam or an active classroom-based evaluation depending on the trainer's course design
  • Upon course completion, accept your CSD license and add the certification to your Scrum Alliance profile
