Applying Professional Scrum

Professional Scrum Foundations

Course Overview

This is an intensive 2-day instructor-led workshop for students who have an elementary understanding of the terms in agile but little or no experience. This is a directly hands on class with many examples and exercises. The objective of the class is to apply learnings directly into the workplace for a beginning agile team. The course will contain not only a Scrum (the development phase), but will cover a project from product inception to fulfillment. 

This practical classroom experience equips attendees to get started with Scrum, to sustain successful habits, and to avoid common Scrum pitfalls. Students learn the basics of Scrum and how to implement Scrum effectively and keep their team practicing healthy behaviors.

A laptop with internet and MS Word is recommended.
