When do we start and end each day?

The virtural classroom opens at 8:45 AM each day and class will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. We will end at 1:00 PM each day. All times are USA Pacific Time.

What's the pre-work?

We recommend that you watch this series of 14 short videos, which will get you up to speed on the fundamentals. We also recommend that you read The Scrum Guide.
