Course Overview
Rapid changes in technology demands from the market and expectations from customers have paved the way for the conceptualization and implementation of Agile methods and values in many organizations. Agile relies on adaptive planning and iterative development and delivery. It focuses primarily on the value of people in getting work done effectively.
Out of the over 10 agile methodologies, Scrum is the most widely deployed and recognized. Scrum is an adaptive, iterative, fast, flexible, and effective methodology designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project.
A key strength of Scrum lies in its use of cross-functional, self-organized, and empowered teams who divide and execute their work, in short, concentrated work cycles called Sprints.
As a Scrum Master, part of your role is to help management and other stakeholders across your organization to understand the benefits of Scrum and Agile. Therefore, it is imperative that you have the information and background that is needed to gain credibility in order to be an effective change agent.
This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases. It teaches what is at the heart of the Scrum and Agile movement.
