In today’s software and product development world, teams are constantly hit with changing requirements, tight deadlines, and the pressure to deliver value fast. The old-school way of planning everything upfront and then building for months without feedback just doesn’t work anymore. Projects run over budget, miss the mark on what customers actually want, and leave everyone frustrated.
That’s exactly where Agile comes in — and why proper Agile training has become non-negotiable.
If you’re looking for hands-on, practical Agile training in Chennai that actually prepares you to lead real teams, DevOpsSchool’s Agile & Scrum certification program is hands-down one of the best choices in the city right now.
Led by Rajesh Kumar (one of the most experienced Agile and DevOps coaches in India), this course cuts through the theory and gets you confidently running sprints, writing great user stories, and delivering working software incrementally — the way top companies expect today.
What You’ll Actually Learn in This Agile Training
This isn’t one of those boring slide-reading courses. The entire program is built around real-world application. You’ll spend a good chunk of time doing exercises, simulations, case studies from actual Chennai and global companies, and even a post-training project on a live scenario.
Here are some of the core areas covered:
- Deep dive into the Agile Manifesto and 12 principles
- Scrum framework end-to-end (roles, events, artifacts, rules)
- Writing effective user stories & acceptance criteria
- Product backlog refinement and prioritization techniques
- Sprint planning, daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives
- Kanban fundamentals and flow-based working
- Estimation techniques (Planning Poker, T-shirt sizing, story points)
- Scaling Agile with SAFe®, LeSS, and Scrum@Scale basics
- Agile tools walkthrough — Jira, Trello, Azure Boards, Confluence
- Agile metrics and reporting that actually matter
- How to handle distributed and remote Agile teams
- Preparation for Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) and PMI-ACP exams
And yes — you get full certification guidance and mock exams included.
Here’s a quick comparison that most participants say opened their eyes:
| Aspect | Traditional Waterfall | Agile / Scrum (What You’ll Master) |
|---|---|---|
| Requirements | Fixed at the beginning | Evolve throughout the project |
| Delivery | One big bang at the end | Working increments every 2–4 weeks |
| Change handling | Expensive & resisted | Welcomed and embraced |
| Risk | High — visible only at the end | Reduced through frequent feedback |
| Customer involvement | Mostly at start and end | Continuous |
| Team empowerment | Low — manager-driven | High — self-organizing teams |
| Success measure | On-time, on-budget, full scope | Business value delivered early & continuously |
Once you experience the Agile side in practice, going back to waterfall feels impossible.
