Agile and Scrum Course in Kolkata

Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal has been called the City of Joy. Historically famous as the first outpost of the British East India company, the city has grown tremendously in recent years. Famous as the cultural centre of Bengal, Kolkata is known for its colonial architecture and festivals. Kolkata is a vibrant city and the gateway to the North-eastern region of India. Traditionally, because of its importance as a centre for administration, several public and private sector enterprises were set up here. In recent times, several new companies including those from the IT and ITeS sector have come up.

A New Alternative

Globally, digitization of records and use of e-transactions and processes has seen a radical change in the approach to big businesses. Even software development has undergone several improvements. The Agile framework of product development is popular since it is based on a flat rather than a hierarchical structure. Among the various practices that use the Agile framework, Scrum is a versatile tool to generate small modules of programs called ‘Sprints’. These modules allow flexibility and adaptability of the program that may require change according to the needs of the organization. A software developer should therefore consider getting an Agile and Scrum certification in Kolkata.

Keeping Ahead of the Curve

For the working professional, e-learning portals are a convenient way to access Agile and Scrum training online in Kolkata. A recognised place should introduce the basic concepts of Agile and Scrum practices, giving candidates the right guidance with the help of examples. KnowledgeHut is a Global Registered Education Provider of the Scrum alliance.
