Abstract

Scrum has a solid track record and has emerged as the premier Agile software development method for project management. This proven, team-based method helps you develop (and potentially deliver) software in stages, manage product backlog (items to be developed) through the Scrum Master role, and prioritize customer requirements through the Product Owner role.

Learn how to

  • Increase Your Speed of Response to Emerging Requirements and Competitive Pressures
    Scrum removes barriers between the customer(s) and your development Team enabling your Team to more easily meet your market, customer, and ROI objectives.
  • Empower Your Teams to Develop High Quality, Valuable Software More Quickly
    Scrum improves productivity and quality of life for all members of your Team by facilitating creativity and empowerment. Implementing Scrum engenders morale, boosts productivity, provides "quick wins" for your team and improves the quality of your work product.
  • Increase Efficiency, Focus and Results Across Your Entire Project
    Implementing Scrum at the Team, IT Management and Business levels improves engineering practices and tools, resulting in a potentially shippable product at each increment of completed work.

The Lean Connection

  • You will learn Scrum in the Context of Lean Principles
    This certification course includes imparting an understanding of Lean principles as it applies to software development as it helps to guide teams in the adoption of Scrum practices.

Focus

  • Your Goals and Your Team as a Whole
    Scrum is a team-based philosophy that is learned and applied most effectively when experienced as a team. Our Scrum Master Certification by Net Objectives course is built upon this team-based approach to enable your entire team to transition together.
