Event description

This course results in candidacy to take the ScrumAlliance ScrumMaster exam; upon a passing score of the exam, the candidate will receive certification as a ScrumMaster with the Scrum Alliance (www.scrumalliance.org).

Target Audience:

This class is suitable for those practicing or looking to practice the art of the ScrumMaster, but is highly valuable for anyone involved in Scrum (Managers, Team Members, Product Managers, etc.).

Course Level:

Intermediate. Experience either managing or participating in software development projects is highly recommended.

Course Objectives:

1. Given a robust perspective on software project management, participants will be able to discuss how Scrum’s time-boxed approach and focus on working product might be appropriate for their
   environment.
   
2. Participants will experience a Scrum ‘sprint’ by participating in a simulation; as a result, they will
   gain the knowledge to assist their teams with this process.
   
3. Given the role-based situational exercises in the course, the participants will be able to make
   decisions considering the business and development perspectives.
   
4. Additional exercises will familiarize participants with Scrum values and principles.
5. Participants will gain an understanding of how the sprint retrospectives empower teams to increase
   their ability to deliver high quality, working product each sprint.
6. Participants will understand the ideas behind just-in-time requirements elaboration, and will also
   learn how to balance this with agile planning techniques.
