About the Course

Get started with using Agile Development and Scrum with this self-paced introductory course! After successfully completing this course, you will be able to embrace the Agile concepts of adaptive planning, iterative development, and continuous improvement - resulting in early deliveries and value to customers. You will look at Scrum as a framework and learn how to apply it alongside Agile. You will also become familiar with related methodologies like Waterfall, Extreme Programming (XP), and Kanban. Apply Agile practices derived from lean manufacturing concepts, like test-driven development. Learn how a scrum team functions. Also learn about the importance of Agile iterative planning and enable yourself to write good user stories and track your team’s progress using a kanban board. Create and refine a product backlog collaboratively with the team and the customer, in a flexible and blameless culture. You'll also learn how to use burndown charts, achieve sprint goals, and conduct the sprint review and retrospective. This approach will lead you to higher levels of efficiency, with the ability to plan and execute sprints with your development team, measuring success with actionable metrics. This course is about more than facts and processes. It is about working collaboratively on a self-organizing team, coached by a scrum master, and building what is needed, rather than simply following a plan. Developed and taught by an experienced Agile practitioner, the course includes hands-on practice through realistic scenario-based labs using GitHub and ZenHub. The course will benefit anyone who wants to get started with working the Agile way or transform the organizational culture to adopt and realize the benefits of Scrum. This includes Project Managers, Product Managers, and Executives. It is particularly suitable for IT practitioners such as software developers, development managers, and IT Scrum Masters....

Good introduction to agile development and scrum. With a caveat: ZenHub is changing and to complete the lab project some exploration is necessary, further the free trial actually is 14 days.

this was one of great courses I have ever participated in. before this I have learned about agile in one of university courses and I thought I understood it. But no, I was far from that

Solid Course with good and focused information about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban, and how they fit into the workplace. The labs (which you luckily can get away with not doing) do require you to use a free two-week trial of Zenhub if you don't already have access, and since this course was something I was doing in my freetime that wasn't enough time, so I didn't benefit from the lab portion of the course. It did show you screenshots of the lab being done, so very little harm done. The instructions on setting up Zenhub are also for an old version, so the instructions aren't really useable. Other than that, I enjoyed learning about Agile development, and hope that I can move my career in that direction.

If you are applied to the IBM Applied DevOps Engineering Professional Certificate, there are going to be some repetitions from the introduction to DevOps, which I don't consider that bad. But maybe this is something that could be adjusted if you are taking the whole DevOps Engineering Professional Certificate. Otherwise, the course was very engaging, and the instructor was very helpful.

This was very excellent course ! I can consider it a reference that I will always back into about Agile philosophy , Even I think 9 hours are a bit less than the actual work on the course since the videos are full of informations !

Excellent course except that I could not really get much out of ZenHub activities because I do not have a work email. Instructor should have used Jira instead for demonstration and ungraded projects.

The course is very practical and useful. Highly recommend for beginners. However, it is not deep and detailed enough so I give 4/5. Thank you
