About the course
Our Agile development with Azure DevOps training course will give you hands-on experience with Microsoft’s popular agile project delivery platform.
Guided by an experienced practitioner, you’ll learn how to navigate projects, create issues, set up Product Backlogs, Scrum and Kanban boards, and report on crucial aspects of your project such as Burndown and Velocity.
Teams who are already using Azure DevOps typically refer to it as ADO - it's worth noting that it's not to be confused with the older ActiveX Data Objects (aka ADO.NET)
If you are looking to employ ADO to enhance project delivery within your organisation, get in touch to find out how we can tailor a custom workshop that really focuses on getting the most out of ADO.
Online and in-house face-to-face options are available - as part of a wider customised training programme, or as a standalone workshop, on-site at your offices or at one of many flexible meeting spaces in the UK and around the World.

This course is aimed at Agile Project managers, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Agile teams, Developers, Test engineers and can also be customised to accommodate other types of team who need to work with parts of the platform (e.g. digital creatives, marketing).

An understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum or Kanban) and techniques (Feature and User Story breakdown) would be helpful to get the best from the course, but we can incorporate coverage of these as required for custom courses.
-
This Agile with Azure DevOps course is available for private / custom delivery for your team - as an in-house face-to-face workshop at your location of choice, or as online instructor-led training via MS Teams (or your own preferred platform).
