View Course Details
In this course, we focus on learning techniques and practices in project management, specifically focusing on the underlying principles of the Scrum framework and the Agile mindset while learning the practices applied by successful Scrum masters and teams. This course prepares students for the Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) certification, and by completing this course students receive up to two free attempts at the PSM I certification exam. In this interactive and activity-based course, students gain a strong understanding of Scrum and Agile theory and principles, the role of the Scrum master as a leader, and why each element of the Scrum framework is important for effective project and product discovery and delivery. Students leave this course with an appreciation for how to deliver value for customers, the importance of self-managing teams, the stances of a successful Scrum master (for example, coaching, facilitating, and removing impediments), and how to deal with common myths and impediments to agility. Discover why Scrum has become the most popular of all the Agile frameworks for project management, used by more than 12 million people daily, and is employed in many industries such as software, marketing, human resources, data science, and biotechnology.
