Course Summary
The Managing Agile Projects with Scrum and Lean training course is our most popular Agile course. This course covers everything you’d find in a Scrum Master course, with more in-depth exploration and more hands-on lab time. After a one-day overview of Scrum, and a brief synopsis of Lean, you will have an opportunity to practice what you’ve learned with two days of intensive lab work.
The course begins with an overview of Agile and Scrum including managing Scrum, Sprints, and Scrum practices. The course then dives into product ownership, prioritization, estimation, planning and the Scrum Master’s role. The course then covers Lean software development and best practices, release planning and Epics. The course concludes with the following labs: Release Planning, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint development, review and retrospective.
