The only thing now certain is uncertainty. The best response to uncertainty is short feedback loops and continual inspection. Using this feedback we identify changes in the environment, understand the impact of those changes, and make appropriate adaptations. In short, be agile. Scrum is the most popular agile framework to help you implement agility, and the Certified ScrumMaster® is the world’s first certification for Scrum and agile.
You gain a practical understanding of the mindset, roles, artifacts, and ceremonies of Scrum, via exercises, discussion, fun games. After the virtual session, leave ready to advance your company and your career.
