OVERVIEW
Whether you are new to Agile principles and have an idea of what Scrum is, or have already spent time involved with teams talking about or implementing Scrum, ensuring success with Scrum can be a daunting prospect. You have understood that the benefits of ‘going agile’ include improving quality, productivity and time to market, but how does this happen in practice? And how can you ensure that you can deliver these process improvements? If you have not undertaken Scrum Training with an experienced Scrum Trainer then you may be missing key knowledge and skills that will enable you to make the most of the opportunities afforded by effective implementation of Scrum principles and practices.
This one-day course investigates the Scrum framework from theory and foundations to practical application and pitfalls and, as such, is a useful introduction for those new to Agile / Scrum who would like to learn more in order to work within, or alongside, a Scrum Team.
