About This Class

While many agile courses focus solely on process, this workshop dives into the specific engineering habits required to actually deliver working software every sprint — moving beyond the “what” of Scrum into the “how” of software craftsmanship. You'll build essential skills like Test-Driven Development, refactoring, and continuous integration so high velocity never comes at the expense of a clean, maintainable codebase.

You'll earn your BDD for Agile Teams microcredential from Scrum Alliance — plus a two-year Scrum Alliance membership.

Outcomes

What You'll Walk Away With

✓

Apply BDD in real scenarios — leading to improved communication, less rework, and higher-quality software aligned to business goals.

✓

Strengthen collaboration — keep the whole team focused on user value and move faster together.

✓

Build living documentation — write effective Gherkin scenarios and automate them into executable tests.

✓

Manage changing requirements — techniques for continuous feedback throughout the software lifecycle.

Curriculum

What You'll Learn

Five topics, from core testing discipline to team craftsmanship

Test-Driven Development — using the “Red-Green-Refactor” cycle to drive design and prevent defects.

Refactoring — techniques to clean code and pay down technical debt without breaking functionality.

Continuous Integration — automating builds and validation so code is always release-ready.

Emergent Architecture — creating flexible designs that evolve alongside changing requirements.

Collaborative Development — leveraging pair programming and swarming to break silos and improve quality.

Ideal For

Who Should Attend

This course is built for every contributor in the product development lifecycle — not developers alone. Anyone working alongside a scrum team benefits from a shared, business-readable language for defining behavior.
