Scrum Master Course
The Scrum Master by ALL course gives participants a sufficient foundation in a timespan of two days to start implementing Scrum in their companies. A training course will always be a mere beginning, however, upon completion our newly qualified Scrum Masters will be ready to take on the new challenges with integrity and credibility.
The training course delivers inspiration, contemplation and practical exercises to encourage participants to reflect and gain new perspectives. We emphasize teamwork as well as the individual – how to help them reach their full potential and remove the barriers that are holding people back.
Scrum is a small management revolution, a work methodology that helps organizations to get the most out of their efforts – as well in projects as in their everyday work. A team working by the Scrum principles becomes like a cruise misile that respond optimally to changes, challenges and newly discovered knowledge.
Steve Denning of Forbes Magazine is quoted to have said that Scrum is ‘a major management discovery’. Scrum makes it possible to create solutions even though we find ourselves in complex situations. This is achieved by introducing boundaries such as working in iterations, clear and distinct roles with a precise responsibility, regular meetings and total clarity and transparency in the process. The Scrum Master’s responsibility is to see to that the process is followed, obstacles are removed and optimization is introduced.
This hands-on, interactive two-day course will teach you how to assume the responsibility of Scrum Master with confidence. The theoretical material is taught using new, creative and practical exercises throughout the course. Participants will attain a new perspective and approach to project management, estimation, improving visibility and much more. The course also offers a thorough survey of the advantages the Scrum method compared to traditional project management in projects, where one has to deal with uncertainties.
