Professional Training

Who should attend

This course is appropriate for all members of a software development team, especially those who are actively involved with creating and refining a product backlog as well as planning and executing work within a sprint. This course will also provide value for individuals outside the development team (managers, Scrum Masters, coaches,
and other stakeholders) who want hands-on exposure to the capabilities of GitHub Projects.

Having some project management and software development experience, either as a team member or as a manager, is recommended. Experience with Agile software development, Scrum, and GitHub are also helpful, but not required. Attendees should read and be familiar with the Scrum Guide prior to class.
