These highly-interactive trainings are designed to accelerate your Scrum adoption and implementation, by offering a course essential for Scrum Masters, Product Owners and Scrum team members. Deep dive into the Scrum framework as well as foster a better understanding of strong engineering practices, agile architecture and continuous delivery.

Scrum is an agile framework that helps teams organise themselves to get the work done. It is deceptively simple, yet sometimes difficult to implement. Why is that? Because it causes change. Becoming more agile with Scrum isn’t something that happens overnight. To succeed, your team likely will need training and mentoring.

The goal of this course is to help you understand and successfully apply the three pillars of what being Agile actually means:

INTENDED AUDIENCE

This training is intended for the development team and all the roles involved in an Agile Delivery effort – developers, team leaders, architects, Scrum Masters, Product Owners and Project Managers. For an Agile project to be successful, it is important that everyone shares the same mind set and live by the same working agreements when it comes to development
process and practices. Like Mike Cohn says:

The team is the car itself, ready to speed along in whatever direction it is pointed. The product owner is the driver, making sure that the car is always going in the right direction. And the ScrumMaster is the chief mechanic, keeping the car well tuned and performing at its best.”
