OVERVIEW
Scrum, created by Schwaber and Sutherland (c. 1995), is a popular Agile framework for developing and sustaining complex products. It offers a collection of roles, events, artefacts and rules, providing a way to assess the efficiency of your practices so that you can improve.
Scrum was formulated as a faster, more flexible way to deliver the greatest value in the least amount of time.
The Scrum Master Certified course is a collaborative learning experience, including roundtables, group discussions, team activities and role-plays.
The course also prepares candidates for the Scrum Master Certified (SMC™) certification exam.
