Descriptions

Who is this course for

Anyone who is in or is affected by a Scrum team. No technical knowledge is necessary and neither is any prior exposure to other project management frameworks. We frequently deliver this course to whole departments, divisions, or companies to ensure organisational alignment.

Purpose of the course

The world is constantly changing and organizations are looking for ways to change with it - to become adaptable. Agile principles, practices, and values empower individuals and teams to sustainably transform the way they work. Our Scrum Foundations course is designed to introduce you to the values and principles established in the Agile Manifesto, as well as the framework defined by the Scrum Guide.

You will learn how to

• Recognize the benefits of Scrum
• Demonstrate proficient comprehension of Scrum Roles, Events, and Artifacts
• Understand that this is a first step in the journey towards a deeper understanding and practical application of Scrum

Benefits for you as an individual

• Be more prepared to take a Scrum Alliance certification offering (i.e. Certified ScrumMaster® or Certified Scrum Product Owner®)
• Meet the learning objectives covered before or during a foundational Scrum Alliance course (CSM and CSPO)

Benefits for your organisation

Shifting to working to Scrum is by its very nature disruptive. This course will try to smooth the transition from a predictive to empirical approach of working by aligning individuals within the organisation to common values and principles and de-mystifying much of the Agile jargon.
