Course Overview
The Scrum promise to deliver more value more quickly to customers has many software development organizations clamoring to adopt Scrum. However, along with the funny new lingo of Sprints, Scrum Master, Backlog, Stand-up Meeting and Retrospective also comes new ways of organizing and managing software teams, adopters are left with many questions:

• What do all these new terms mean?
• How does a team use these ways of organizing and managing themselves to realize Scrum’s promise of hyper-productivity?
• How well does the promise of hyper-productivity stand up?
• How does a Scrum team integrate into the enterprise and what happens to the project manager, business analyst, software developer, and quality assurance specialist roles?

During this course participants will discover many of the answers to these questions by actively engaging in group and role playing exercises designed to foster understanding of Scrum principles and practices. Read More.
