COURSE DELIVERY MODE: Self Paced (E-Learning)
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 the most popular Agile framework. It is an adaptive, iterative, fast, flexible, and effective methodology designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project.
A Scrum project involves a collaborative effort to create a new product, service, or other result as defined in the Project Vision Statement. The Scrum framework, as defined in the SBOK Guide, is structured in such a way that it supports product and service development in all types of industries and in any type of project, irrespective of its complexity.
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. The focus of Scrum on value-driven delivery helps Scrum Teams deliver results as early in the project as possible.
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOME:
