The course that transforms developers into real Scrum teammates

Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development (APS-SD) isn’t just another training. It’s an immersive experience where developers learn how to deliver high-quality software—together.

Why your developers should attend this course

Tech leaders and executives often face the same problem: developers may know Scrum in theory, but rarely apply it with the mindset and behaviors it demands.

“Agility must be embedded within engineering, not just leadership.”

— Senior Executive in Aerospace Engineering

“Shipping fast and right is non-negotiable. A single mistake can be costly.”

— VP IT in the defense sector

The APS-SD course is built for this: helping developers embrace quality, collaboration, the Definition of Done, and the true spirit of Scrum—all through real team-based learning.

What you get

  • ✔️ Developers who fully understand their role in a Scrum Team
