Course Information
Course Overview
A journey from Agile and Scrum fundamentals to certification and on to advanced Scrum Master and Agile topics
This course leads the student on a journey starting with the Scrum basics and leading to more advanced Scrum thinking and practices.
Part 1 focuses on complete beginners and is comprehensive in covering all areas of Scrum basics, starting with the history of Scrum, moving onto definitions, theory and values, before a deep dive into the the 3 Scrum roles, the 5 Scrum events and the 3 Scrum Artifacts.
This section will also help you in your journey to Agile Scrum certification and I have cross referenced this course with a number of the popular Scrum master certifications like the PSM1 and the CSM to make sure it covers all the areas needed.
Part 2 focuses on more advanced topics. It focuses beyond the Scrum guide and into topics that are referenced in the Scrum guide but not elaborated on. User stories, value, prioritization, release management and estimation are each discussed
It not only dives into the theory but also gives specific focus to some of the more widely used techniques / practices in Scrum today, giving the student a more practical grounding, moving away from the question of “what is Scum?” onto the question of “how do we use Scrum?”
We also designed two practices tests which not only help you in your revision but the format and difficulty give you a preview into the types of questions that you will need to answer in your Scrum Master certification
And beyond this, we have added a section focusing on the background to Scrum. Focusing on agile project management with topics like Agile, Lean and Waterfall, to help you with context on Scrum and how it evolved.
And finally, we are continually adding more clips and webinars covering practical topics like “what to do on Day one of a new Scrum team?” and many more. This section is regularly added to!
So, if this is what you need, I hope you enjoy it!

In my opnion, it should have a support material to revise and help during the lectures. The way it is, i have to stop the video all the time to make notes and takes longer to finish it.
