In an effort to raise the effectiveness of Scrum, the Scrum Alliance has created the Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) program. A Certified Scrum Developer is someone who has demonstrated through a combination of formal training and a technical skills assessment that he or she has a working understanding of Scrum principles and has learned specialized Agile engineering skills. This three-day class is aimed at helping software development professionals and teams be more effective when implementing Scrum and other Agile methodologies. You will learn how to create and maintain high quality systems through industry standard practices such as Test Driven Development, Continuous Integration and common software design patterns. This class was specifically designed to deliver the core Agile Development Practices Learning Objectives of the CSD program and should prepare the participant to successfully pass the Scrum Alliance CSD Candidate Assessment.
In order to earn the CSD certification, the Scrum Alliance requires at least five days of formal training followed by a CSD assessment/evaluation. This class fulfills 21 of the required 35 hours and can be paired with the Certified ScrumMaster class to complete the requirement.

"Find the Focus To Be The Best Version Of Yourself"
Presented by Gladys Agwai, Ignite Within, LLC
Join us for the February Networking event. Featuring an extended networking session with peers and PMI Atlanta leaders, this event also provides a presentation to improve your project management and professional skills.
Presentation Details
 Are you putting a shade over your light playing small when you have the power within you to have a much greater impact on your life, the lives of others, your career, or business? Who have you allowed to define who you are, what you do, what you want, when, or how? Sometimes life and environmental circumstances make it “seem” impossible to achieve the personal and professional aspirations we “really” want. However, more often, we simply don’t organize ourselves to turn our aspirations into reality – and then “wake up” and find that life and our competitors have passed us by. Your focus is on everyone and everything else, but you’ve not paid enough attention on you and what you want, why, and what are you willing to do to achieve it!
Join Gladys Agwai at the networking event and begin to get clear about you, setting your direction through wisdom choices, and defining your own success! Your benefits will be:
- Thought provoking and insightful perspective into YOU – Don’t be Scared!
- Expanded thinking and actions from a global perspective – Confirmed: The World is Flat
- Clarity on where you are, where you want to be and why – Clarity, Clarity, and yes Clarity!
- Move from awareness to attention to intention to action – Focus!
- Get comfortable with the certainty of uncertainty – Exhale!
