Welcome to a practical and hands-on course that teaches you the trade of agile team collaboration and leadership!
You will learn the most important and practical aspects of Agile, including all of Scrum. Unlike traditional Scrum Master courses, the course is extremely practical and also covers agile practices outside of Scrum. This helps you ensure your team performs at a higher level than before. Scrum is a GREAT start, AND there are more great agile practices out there that help you perform even better.
The course gives you the fundamentals to build a winning team and be an exceptionally good Scrum Master. The course is compatible with and rests firmly on internationally established agile frameworks, such as Scrum, XP, SAFe®, and DSDM.
We follow a natural flow of work and trace a clear chronological path throughout the course. This makes it easier to understand how and when each practice should be used.
Professional Scrum Master 1 certification is included.
The course will give the team a toolbox of principles and practices to help it perform better, including:
- Lean & Agile Values & Principles
