How we work: training backed by practice
Practice, not just theory
Instructors who also build software
Before writing a single line of code, we sit down with your business team to understand what problem needs to be solved and for whom. We define scope, priorities, and a roadmap focused on delivering the most urgent impact first—the greatest waste in software development is building something nobody needs.
Formal backing
Industry-recognized certifications
We have a Certified Scrum Trainer—Diego Fontdevila, Founder of Grupo Esfera—as well as developers certified as Certified Scrum Developers and coaches with Scrum Master certifications, all issued by the Scrum Alliance. Your team earns an industry-recognized certification alongside hands-on, applied knowledge.
The same methodology
Content based on the Esfera Way
The courses and programs impart the same methodology we use in our own projects—product quality, delivery frequency, business impact—so that what your team learns is applicable from day one on the job, rather than just a textbook concept.
How we work with AI
Agentic Engineering Training
We are adding to our catalog the exact way we work with generative AI ourselves: Agentic Engineering — Evolution of Software Development Practices, a 10-hour online, hands-on theoretical course where your team transitions from individual AI exploration—each developer with their own prompt, lacking shared standards—to a standardized team practice: how to structure and control tasks with agents, what to delegate and what to reserve for humans, and which verification mechanisms—tests, quality gates, assisted code reviews—sustain the quality of agent-generated code.
Customized, when off-the-shelf options aren't enough. When we design a program from scratch, we build tailored content with examples based on the technology stack your team already uses, adjusting both format and time commitment to fit your reality—including flexible delivery models to seamlessly balance training with day-to-day work.

Training: courses and certifications
We provide technical and organizational courses and certifications grounded in our own experience building software. You can enroll in a course pre-designed by Esfera—hosted privately for your team or open to participants from other companies—or request a program custom-built for your organization.

The Guarantee Behind Our Service: The Esfera Way
The training we deliver—whether a catalog course or a tailored program—imparts the exact same three pillars that guide our software development projects: product quality, delivery frequency, and business impact. We don't teach theory disconnected from practice: we teach the way of working that we use every single day.
Product Quality
The same standards we apply in our own projects, brought to our training programs.
Delivery Frequency
Content applicable from the very first session, not just at the course's end.
Business Impact
Training designed to embed a capability that your team sustains in their daily work.

What is Training, and when is it the right choice?
Training means capability building with a laser focus on agility and technology, delivered by practitioners who solve these exact problems every day in real-world projects—not just in the classroom. It is the right choice when your team or organization needs to embed a specific skill or capability—such as Scrum, testing, product discovery, technical leadership, or agentic engineering—and you are seeking training grounded in real practice, not just theory.
There are two Esfera Ways to access this training, and it is helpful to distinguish between them before choosing.
Catalog Courses: programs that we have already designed and deliver using our own curriculum—for example, Certified Scrum Developer, Product Discovery for Agile Business Certified, or Agentic Engineering: Evolution of Development Practices—each available in two modalities:
-
In-company: as a private, closed-door group for your team, scheduled on a mutually agreed date.
-
Public/Open: with a fixed published date and open enrollment for anyone interested, regardless of their company.
Custom Program: when no catalog course covers exactly what your organization needs, we design one from scratch featuring proprietary content, examples based on the technology stack you already use, and a direct focus on your team's specific challenges.
THIS IS NOT THE SERVICE FOR YOU IF...
You are looking for Esfera team members to work side-by-side with your team on real code, rather than a one-off training session—in that case, look into Technical Coaching. If you are looking for facilitation of team dynamics—team building, leadership, planning—that is an Agile Coaching service.
Shall we train your team?
Tell us what capability your team needs to embed—together, we'll see whether a catalog course (in-company or open enrollment) is right for you, or if it makes sense to design a tailored program.
