Course Description:
Scrum is widely used in technology projects, especially those that have a software development aspect. This program gives tech organizations an opportunity to learn the mechanics of Scrum concepts and how to apply them in a practical setting.
Scrum team members will be able to learn how to optimize their collaborative work and product delivery methods in this hand-on, virtual workshop. This program will take 24 hours to complete, in which participants will have worked through all aspects of a Scrum project, from vision to iterative delivery. Each session will include a discussion segment to gain a more in depth understanding of Scrum and the participants will be placed in small groups for exercises that will give them hands-on experience with Scrum.
