Agile and Scrum and its variations (Scrum + Extreme Programming, Scrum + Kanban) have repeatedly proven their value in bringing business people and developers together to create customer-centric, value-driven products. If you are considering adopting Scrum, or you feel that you’re agile in spirit, but would like to better understand the various techniques and principles, join this training.
It’s a hands-on, practical workshop that aims to teach the Scrum framework with a real example. Teams are encouraged to prepare with examples from their applications, but we can provide an example product to work on. To achieve optimal results, we recommend the participation of the entire team (Product Owner, Scrum Master, programmers, Testers, Business Analysts, etc.).
