Audience

This course is aimed at individuals and teams new to Scrum and Agile Software Development or teams that need to level-set terms, understand the principles that drive Scrum and create a common understanding of the roles, meetings and artifacts of Scrum.

The Approach

We believe that the key to a successful Scrum kickoff is a clear and universal understanding of the principals and practices of Scrum on the team. We also believe that while reading about Scrum is a good place to start, the level of understanding that is required to be successful is only achieved by doing Scrum. This workshop puts the participants into a Scrum driven project. The problem domain is one that most participants have never dealt with, thereby creating the opportunity for all participants to learn. When the goals of the Scrum project are presented, the participants know very little about how they will create a workable product in the short time they will have to complete the project.By using agile analysis, agile planning, effort sizing and team work they work together to create a product. Most participants are surprised at the results of their project.

Course Details

This course is intended for software development teams and professionals. Scrum can be used on other types of projects. Consult with your Effective Agile Development Enterprise Coach for information about customizing this course for your team and organization.
