Yes, the course focuses on practical scenarios such as creating user stories, planning sprints, managing work items, improving team visibility, documenting project knowledge, and tracking delivery health.

You'll build skills in Agile planning, Scrum workflows, work item tracking, sprint management, dashboard reporting, stakeholder communication, traceability, and DevOps collaboration. These are used daily by Scrum Masters, project coordinators, business analysts, and DevOps-adjacent engineers, and form a foundation for anyone moving toward Azure DevOps roles.

No, there isn't a standalone Azure Boards certification, but the Azure Boards planning and work-tracking skills this course teaches are assessed as part of the Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert credential, earned through the AZ-400 exam, alongside repos, pipelines, security, and monitoring, the other skill areas that credential covers.

Unlike generic Agile courses, this course connects Agile and Scrum concepts directly to Azure Boards. It's hands-on focused, with 5 guided demos in real Azure Boards, so you learn how planning, work tracking, dashboards, metrics, wikis, and integrations work inside Azure DevOps.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
