This Certified ScrumMaster course is a 2-day intensive introduction to the Scrum framework detailing how Scrum and related agile practices are applied by Scrum teams to rapidly deliver potentially shippable products in frequent, time-boxed iterations.  The course uses a combination of lecture and experiential learning to instill a practical understanding of Scrum focusing on the activities the ScrumMaster, Team and Product Owner perform while delivering to their commitments and aspiring to achieve hyper-productivity.

The course covers the core concepts of Scrum teams and teamwork and the Scrum framework including: roles, activities, and artifacts that are applied to realize product requirements and project delivery; the ScrumMaster role including responsibilities, focuses, core coaching & facilitation and leadership techniques and mindsets & behavioral characteristics; the Product Owner role, including key responsibilities; and the role of a self-organizing, cross-functional team as the primary organizational value creation unit through which the product is developed and delivered. The Scrum framework will be applied in a mini-project simulation where the concepts of user stories, agile estimation, and planning are practiced in detail assuring participants have a practical understanding of the techniques.

Bill Li, the primary trainer and Managing Principal of UPerform Consulting Group, has over 25 years of domestic and oversea IT experience and is the Chinese translator and co-translator of 3 Scrum books written by Ken Schwaber and Mike Cohn.  In addition, normally there will be a local agile coach to support the class to provide Korean language help and assistance and local Scrum experiences to the class.  Both Agile coaches/consultants bring significant practical experiences in agile and traditional project delivery including XP, PMBOK based methodology etc. This course is delivered in English with Korean translation support depending on the profile of course participants.
