Teaming With Agile and Scrum

This course offers an alternative to the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) training. While CSM focuses solely on the ScrumMaster Role, Teaming with Agile & Scrum focuses on the entire Team, including Project Managers, Architects, Business Analysts, Testers, Developers, and Release Managers. This team-based training will help you understand your role within the Scrum team structure and equip you through repeated practice with the knowledge, skills, and tools to successfully implement Agile/Scrum methods. After taking this highly interactive workshop, you will understand Agile and specifically Scrum concepts, why they work, and how to start using Agile/Scrum on your next project.
