The course is delivered virtually by Bill Li, one most recognized Scrum and Agile coaching experts.
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/Developers and Product Owner perform while delivering to their commitments, value creation and aspiring to achieve hyper-productivity.
The course covers the core concepts of Scrum teams and teamwork and the Scrum framework including: roles/accountabilities, activities/events, and artifacts that are applied to realize product requirements, create value and 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 with passionate developers 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 adaptive planning are practiced in detail assuring participants have a practical understanding of the techniques.
