Ventura, CA | 1-2 Mar 2010 | Roger W. Brown

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.

This 2-day workshop will give you a solid foundation in the Scrum project management framework. We cover the underlying principles, basic practices and common techniques for project success in a fast-changing world. Through hands-on exercises and a simulated Scrum project, you will gain familiarity and confidence in your ability to apply the framework in your organization. You will learn how small, high performance teams can achieve product development goals at a surprisingly quick yet sustainable pace.
