Agile Courses for type B CPEs?

benpierce79 — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 23:13:28 GMT

Hello,

I'm wondering if a course on Agile could be counted towards type B CPEs?

Specifiically, I'm looking at this course on Udemy for 6.5 credits: https://www.udemy.com/course/agile-scrum-mastery/

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated!

I’d say yes, as participation in management courses. I think that as long as you have documentation, certs screen grabs in case of audit then it’s good.

Domain 8 of the CISSP covers "Software Development Security". You might want to claim Type A CPEs for the course.

Although, it would be useful to have someone from HQ provide input on this (@andreamoore can you point this in the right direction)

Don't bother asking HQ. Just claim the credit as Type A, Domain 8, as Diana has suggested.

If you are not aware of Agile, you should learn how Agile developers stage their implementation of required functions in scrums, and the reality of how they may keep putting off security requirements, treating more like "desirements." That is a critical aspect of making sure security is part of the Agile process.

Good luck; it should be a good course.

PMI has a long course and certification for Agile that is more business orientated that maybe a stretch but I also understand the argument for such a case. Most of my type B's are strictly business orientated such as business statistics and communications, etc.

Planning on going through this Agile course later this year for giggles.

Hello @benpierce79,

It should qualify as Group A - Taking an online self-paced, blended or instructor-led educational course.

However, as the member you should always use your best judgement as CPE credits can be audited.

There are two Agiles out there. Agile development and Agile framework for business is a bit different and has less to do with developing software but using the same concepts to accomplish the work of business. This may sound like splitting hairs but later is very much orientated toward business having more to do with project management than software development.

I do see the Agile Framework for business becoming much more accepted even if, like many others, adopted from IT.

SC2 has an excellent 1-day immesive course on DevSecops.

DevSecOps – Integrating Security into DevOps (isc2.org)

Agile is now fundamental to Secure Software Development so would suggest this is Type-A.
