About this course
A preparation course for the Advanced Certified Scrum Developer (A-CSD) certification from Scrum Alliance, with a timed 40-question practice exam (40 minutes, 80% pass mark) and the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.
A-CSD has no official exam: you earn it by holding a CSD, completing an approved A-CSD course with all its pre- and post-course work, and validating at least 12 months of experience as a Scrum developer or team member within the last five years. Use this course to prepare before the class, to consolidate what you learned after it and to get ready for experienced developer roles.
The exam covers the A-CSD learning areas: Lean, Agile and Scrum; collaboration and team dynamics; architecture and design; refactoring; test-driven development; and continuous integration and delivery. Its 40 original questions are mostly scenarios that ask for judgement, and none is taken from the free test.
Each answer has an explanation that says why it is right and why the tempting alternative is wrong, grounded in the Scrum Guide 2020 and in common complementary practices such as pairing, test-driven development, trunk-based development and feature toggles.
You can retake the exam as often as you like, and your results are saved in your account. Questions are in English; explanations are also available in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
