Scrum Alliance Launches BDD for Agile Teams Microcredential Course

Streamline collaboration and deliver the right features with behavior-driven development.

DENVER, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In product development, efficiency is only one characteristic of a high-performing team. What if you very efficiently deliver a product that nobody wants? With behavior-driven development (BDD), you can discover what your clients and users need and build that product with greater reliability and fewer bugs.

Scrum Alliance® has launched a new microcredential course: BDD for Agile Teams. This 8.5-hour course equips development teams with the skills to build the right product the right way by integrating behavior-driven development practices into their workflow.

Building the right product, the right way
This course is designed to help teams develop products their customers truly need. By adopting BDD practices, product teams will:

• Reduce waste and costs by streamlining workflows and eliminating unnecessary efforts.
• Implement changes smoothly and safely by adapting to new requirements without disruption.
• Clarify development outcomes by ensuring that user stories and features align with real-world business and user needs.

"Slow, error-prone development processes not only hinder innovation but also risk delivering products that miss the mark," said Scrum Alliance Chief Executive Officer Tristan Boutros. "With BDD for Agile Teams, we're offering a course with a proven approach that enhances communication, aligns teams with customer needs, and drives better business outcomes. This course empowers teams to deliver the right features with confidence—ensuring stronger engagement, collaboration, and a sharper focus on what truly matters to users."

Why choose BDD for Agile Teams?
Learners will discover how BDD makes it possible to align features with what users and businesses need most, manage the inherent uncertainties in software development, and convert stakeholder insights into reliable delivery. With BDD, teams will gain a crystal-clear picture of what needs to be built and can speak the language of their users—driving better product alignment and quality.

Course details
BDD for Agile Teams is delivered live by Scrum Alliance-certified instructors. Upon successful completion, learners will receive a permanent Scrum Alliance microcredential badge that never expires. People who are new to Scrum Alliance or who have an expired membership will receive a two-year professional membership with the organization.

This course is ideal for software developers, engineers, product owners, business analysts, and testers who aspire to drive alignment and deliver products that truly delight their customers.

"BDD for Agile Teams is more than just a course—it's a commitment to quality, efficiency, and user-centric development," added Boutros. "By focusing on user behavior and integrating robust testing into the development process, teams can deliver the right features, the right way."
