Overview
Are you looking to learn the role of Scrum Master, enable adoption of the Scrum framework and increase product development efficiency?
This certified course addresses the principles and theory underpinning the Scrum framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products through effective team collaboration.
This course focuses on the role of the Scrum Master. Scrum Masters are responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum - as defined in The Scrum Guide - by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values.
The content, developed in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium who are leaders in promoting and enabling business agility, is purposely aimed at a less technical, wider business audience.
Using a combination of expert instruction and interactive team-based activities you will develop the knowledge and skills needed to perform the Scrum Master role.
The training and certification are based on the version of The Scrum Guide. Developed by Scrum creators Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland.
