Become a Scrum Developer Change Agent
The Scrum Developers - Essentials (SD-E) is a unique 2-day course designed to support Developers in their professional development. While many courses focus on code, this training focuses on the human side of the profession.
Developed by Scrum Facilitators, this essential course helps you explore the attitude, behavior, and mindset required to become not just a team member, but a change agent within your organization.
What You Will Learn
Knowing Scrum is not the same as understanding it. In this training, we dive deep into the framework to understand why we do what we do.
Course Topics
During these two days, we explore the key patterns of becoming a great Scrum Team member, covering:
- Living Scrum: Moving beyond "mechanical Scrum" to understand the values and principles.
- Supporting the Scrum Master: Understanding the different stances of a Scrum Master and how you can influence them.
- Supporting the Product Owner: Managing risk via empiricism and understanding how to craft a solid Sprint Goal.
- Peer Collaboration: What "cross-functional" really means and how to give constructive feedback.
- Organizational Impact: How Developers can influence change and improve effectiveness across the company.
Who Should Take This Course?
This course is developed specifically for Developers in a Scrum Team. It is ideal for professionals who want to:
- Challenge the status quo and have the courage to be vulnerable.
- Focus on empiricism instead of just delivering solutions.
- Understand their accountabilities towards the rest of the Scrum Team.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a technical coding course? No. While this course is for Developers, the focus lies on mindset, attitude, and behavior. We teach you how to interact professionally within the framework, not how to write code.
- How does this differ from the Scrum.org APS-SD? The APS-SD focuses heavily on technical engineering practices (TDD, CI/CD). The SD-E focuses on the soft skills, accountabilities, and professional stance of the Developer.
- Is an exam included? Yes, you will receive a Scrum Facilitators Credly certification upon successful completion of the course components.
- Do I need to be a programmer? The term "Developer" in Scrum refers to anyone working on the Increment. If you are part of the creating team (tester, designer, analyst, engineer), this course is for you.
