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.

Brent Barton and Chris Sterling will instruct this 2-day course detailing the Scrum framework. Brent and Chris bring the subject to life using hands-on experiential training techniques, facilitated discussion, and their real world experiences applying Scrum and helping others apply it. This training course is constructed in a way that also allows for going beyond the basics of the Scrum framework such as release planning and scaling techniques.
