The strategy for Shyvana isn't complicated, but important all the same and can become a very strong routine.

My Routine:
First Clear - Red, Krugs (Smite), Raptors, Wolves, Blue, Gromp, Scuttle (Smite)
Then, search for a quick EASY gank, if none are easily available, do first back as long as you have at-least 1075 gold and purchase first back items listed above.

Next, rush to drag, situationally you can do one camp on the way. First, place the first back c-ward on drag, most of the time this will set you up for a unseen, super fast drag when the enemy jungler will never expect it.

After this, full focus on farming until level 6, only ganking in nearly perfect opportunities. At level 6, take a break from farming to look for ganking opportunities and get Herald pretty soon as well. Early objective grabs usually throw the enemy for a loop and get you the early gold you need as Shyvana.

From this point on do normal jungler things, farming and focusing on ganking when your ultimate is up. Focus drags as soon as they come up when possible, always rebuying c-wards so you have them for drag. Remember, you don't need teammates for Dragon and it's harder for the enemy jungler to catch you doing it if your laners don't leave lane to help. Herald is very important on Shyvana, by using Herald you accelerate tower destruction allowing your laners to roam more freely which will stop the enemy jungler from intercepting your farming (which any jungler familiar with Shyvana will try to.)

Now you're reaching the late game, sitting on 3-4 items and the dragons are piling up. Once you've finished your Deathcap you are basically unstoppable in 1v1's, 1v2's, and often even 1v3's. Focus on split pushing lanes and waiting on more objectives, Shyvana is a hell of a tower destroyer. When in team fights, try to stay back if their is more than 3 enemies there, if their are 3 or less, go in, you can take them most of the time.
