Get Lined Up for Two Certifications While You Dive Deeper into Agile Methods.
This three-day ScrumMaster certification course provides everything you need to begin leading or participating in a Scrum team. You will learn the essential concepts and tools of Scrum, differences between agile processes and traditional "waterfall" methodologies, and how to build a roadmap for adopting agile at your organization. Participants will learn how to lead development teams towards agile operations by: managing product backlogs, planning releases and sprints, tracking and reporting progress, and conducting retrospectives.
In this interactive training, you’ll spend the first day learning the impact and history of the agile movement. We’ll introduce all of the major agile practices, specifically eXtreme Programming, Lean, DSDM, Crystal, Kanban, and of course Scrum. In the second part of the intensive training, we’ll move from the why to the how, with the ScrumMaster Certification training. On Day 3, we will round out the material by covering agile project management with Kanban, and agile software development with XP. This course goes well beyond the basics to equip students with the practical advice, real world examples and simulation exercises necessary to transition traditional project managers into agile project managers. You’ll not only leave the three-day training with a greater understanding of the agile movement and knowledge towards Scrum and PMI-ACP certifications, but also with a new confidence in your skills as a project leader and a new network of fellow agile practitioners.
