ONLINE LIVE: Scrum: Scrum Basis Training in 1 Day

What does the Scrum Basics training entail?

Scrum is the most popular and common Agile way of working based on Toyota’s Lean approach. This framework was developed by Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber for software development and is in use since 1995. In Scrum, the emphasis is on customer communication, the team member, and stakeholders. Furthermore, Scrum is suitable for IT and non-IT projects within organizations. According to the research company, The Standish Group, almost 80% of European organizations plan to introduce Agile and Scrum in the short term.

During the Scrum Basic training, the essence and principles of Agile and Scrum including all the Scrum roles are discussed. In this way, you’ll learn how this innovative way of thinking and working is applicable in your work environment.

After following the course, you’ll have insights into all aspects within the Scrum methodology and you’re able to fulfill roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner or team member). The course is a good preparation to obtain the official 'Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)', and the 'Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)' certifications. You can also participate in the exam for Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I), Professional Product Owner I (PSPO I) or Professional Scrum Foundation certifications at scrum.org.
