Scrum.org's purpose is to improve the profession of software development so that we love our work and our customers love working with us and trust our integrity. To do so:
- We maintain the consistency and integrity of the Scrum process.
- We work with Scrum Training Organizations to develop courseware and knowledge on how to use Scrum in various domains or work, such as risk management.
- We work with Scrum trainers to learn and use the Program Development Partner courseware to help others learn how to build products using Scrum.
- We work with Scrum users to help them incrementally improve their ability to use Scrum, including the application of self-assessments.
Scrum.org is staffed by the developers of Scrum and the best Scrum practitioners in the industry, and was founded to:
- Help individuals assess their knowledge of Scrum and how it is used.
- Help organizations find the best training courses, coaching, consulting, and topical Q&A sessions to optimize their use of Scrum.
- Help Scrum teams and organizations learn how to optimize their Total Cost of Ownership for systems and products built using Scrum.
- Initiate innovative programs, such as the Certified Scrum DeveloperTM and Professional Scrum DeveloperTM, to accelerate the effectiveness of Scrum.
Scrum.org supports three overlapping communities:
Scrum Users --- people and organizations that want to know more about Scrum, how to measure and optimize their use of it, and how to get assistance.
Scrum Trainers --- people who can provide specific training, coaching and consulting to Scrum Users who have been trained by Scrum.org and whose performance and materials used are vetted and monitored by Scrum.org.
Program Development Partners --- Organizations that work with Scrum.org to develop Scrum competence, materials, and domain knowledge that Scrum.org delivers to Scrum Users through Scrum Trainers.
Scrum.org has only top-drawer facilities and skills aimed to help those who are dead serious about competing in the product and systems development marketplace.
