What is PSD? The Professional Scrum Developer (PSD) program is the best way to jump-start a Scrum Development Team’s efficiency and productivity. Great software development using Scrum and today’s Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools requires the seamless integration of the tool, a well-functioning team, and software development best practices. Professional Scrum Developer is the only course available that teaches how this is done. And now it’s in the Philippines, brought to you by Codelean.
