What you'll learn
Learn how to use Scrum to deliver software or information technology (IT) products with a more agile mindset
Requirements
Have some knowledge of some of the challenges with software product or project management
Description
This course is for people who want to better understand the Agile Mindset and Scrum.  I've taught an in-person versions of this course at many top organizations and Universities.  The course has been refined and continuously improved over several years.
You’ll start by seeing how Scrum Theory can help your teams embrace a more agile mindset. Then you'll see Scrum as a framework to help improve your team's transparency.  Your team will inspect-and-adapt to new ideas and challenges.  You’ll also see the roles on a Scrum Team.  These roles work together in Scrum Events.  That’s where the team does all the planning and works in set Sprints.  Finally, you’ll learn about the Scrum Artifacts.  Your team will work off a Product Backlog and a Sprint Backlog to deliver in Product Increments.
This course includes a handout with over 180 slides that you can use to take notes.  There’s also a 30-page exercise packet to practice creating User Stories, Tasks and your Task Board.  Finally, there’s a 25-question quiz to review the material and see if you have any areas for review.
