Course Overview

Certified Scrum Developer® (CSD) is a technical certification from Scrum Alliance family of popular certifications that include the Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), Advanced Certified Scrum Master (A-CSM) and the Certified Scrum Developer (CSD).

The Certified Scrum Developer® course is aimed at Software professionals who build Software in the iterative and incremental approach that Scrum requires.

CSD Certification

The CSD Certification is achieved through the completion of 5 days of formal training taught by Scrum Alliance Registered Education Partner and a Scrum Alliance approved CSD instructor.

The two tracks or pathways to become a CSD are:

Track 1: CSM Course (2 days) + CSD technical course including coding (3 days).

This course, Essentials Practices for Continuous Delivery is the 3 days CSD technical course. CSMs with active certifications would be eligible for the CSD Certification after the course.

Should you complete this course first, then you would be eligible to become a CSD on completing the CSM certification.

OR

Track 2: Intro to Scrum CSD course (1 day) + CSD technical course, including coding (3 days) + CSD technical elective course (1 day)

The CSD Certification is valid for 2 years and is required to be renewed thereafter.
