• Development Team Members who are actively involved in software development and want to adopt agile practices.
• Managers and Directors who oversee teams and need to approach their roles with a more agile and Scrum-oriented mindset.
• Project Managers (PMs) looking to transition or adapt to more agile frameworks in managing projects.
• Testers and Analysts who work directly with product development and need Scrum knowledge to improve their workflows.
• C-level Executives responsible for steering the company’s agile transformation efforts who want to support their teams with a thorough understanding of Scrum practices.

Prior to attending, participants should ideally have some background in Agile methodologies, either through previous courses such as Intro to Agile Methods or through direct experience working in Agile environments.
