Learn the essentials of working as a ScrumMaster or Scrum team member in this course. While the Scrum Alliance provides a list of core concepts that must be covered in the class, each instructor creates his or her own material, allowing courses to differ based on the strengths, interests, and experiences of the instructor.

The training is focused on preparing Scrum Masters and Change Agents for the role they will play in the successful adoption of Scrum in the organization. This training is based on my experience and best practices in the implementations I've been involved with. Students learn the basics of Scrum, how to get it started, and keeping it going in their organizations.

Students will learn through interactive exercises where they will use the same techniques that are needed when they start their projects. My goal is to change the fundamental way people think about the projects and how to manage them. 

Bring and open mind and your questions/doubts/issues, we will address them!
