Scrum for Operations & DevOps Fundamentals Certified (SODFC)
Free

Free tier — no fixed expiration
Your ops team has heard about Scrum but no one has explained whether ceremonies designed for software delivery actually apply to running infrastructure, keeping a plant floor moving, or holding a support queue. SODFC answers that question without costing you anything.
Course Overview
SODFC is the entry-level credential in the SCRUMstudy Operations & DevOps track. It's based on the Scrum for Operations and DevOps white paper and shows how Scrum cadences, roles, and ceremonies apply to ongoing operations work, infrastructure teams, support teams, and the DevOps pipeline. Free course, free exam, free retakes.
What You Will Learn
- How Scrum principles actually extend to operations and DevOps — and where they stop fitting. Scrum roles and ceremonies adapted for ongoing operations work, not discrete projects. How to optimize operational workflow using Scrum cadences. How to align operations goals with business outcomes. The foundation for combining Scrum with DevOps practices.
About the Course
- SODFC is the entry-level credential in the SCRUMstudy Operations & DevOps track — the no-cost way to find out whether Scrum cadences fit your operations work before investing in the expert track (SODEC).
How the Course Works
- Online and self-paced through the VMEdu LMS at no cost. The preparatory course, the study materials, and the unproctored exam are all included. Free retakes. If you decide afterward that you want help applying what you learned, an optional Trinity advisory engagement is available on request.
Individual Outcomes
- You'll hold a no-cost SCRUMstudy credential, qualify for Agile-operations and DevOps-adjacent roles, and have the foundation to step into SODEC if you want the expert track.
Who this Course is For
- You if you run operations and want to know whether Scrum applies. You if you're an IT operations or infrastructure lead. You if you're DevOps, SRE, or support. You if you're a manufacturing or industrial ops leader applying Agile thinking.
Organizational Outcomes
- If you're considering bringing Agile cadences to operations teams without forcing a software-development framework on work that isn't software, SODFC is the no-cost credential that gets your team to the same baseline before you commit to anything bigger.
Why Choose this certification
