Overview

The ScrumMaster has a key and very complex role in Scrum. The role is different to that of a project manager, for example the ScrumMaster has no responsibility for planning and controlling projects. Instead, the ScrumMaster supports and encourages the team’s self-organisation and the success of projects by optimising the collaboration among the stakeholders (including management), the Product Owner and the development team.

This course starts with reviewing the basics of the role and then focuses in detail on advanced topics, arming attendees with a new set of tools to help them become real “Change Agents”, helping and coaching not only their teams, but the full organization.

Target Audience

The course is aimed for acting ScrumMasters and those who are planning to advance their career in that direction.
