Are you looking to learn the role of Scrum Master, enable adoption of the Scrum framework and increase product development efficiency?

This certified course addresses the principles and theory underpinning the Scrum framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products through effective team collaboration.

This course focuses on the role of the Scrum Master. Scrum Masters are responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum - as defined in The Scrum Guide - by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values.

The content, developed in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium who are leaders in promoting and enabling business agility, is purposely aimed at a less technical, wider business audience.

Using a combination of expert instruction and interactive team-based activities you will develop the knowledge and skills needed to perform the Scrum Master role.

The training and certification are based on the 2020 version of The Scrum Guide. Developed by Scrum creators Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland.

  • There are no specific prerequisites for this course however, some knowledge or experience of working in an Agile team would be beneficial but not essential.
  • For virtual delivery, learners will require the use of WebEx and the ability to access boards on Miro.com.
  • In order to prepare for the session, we recommend you familiarise yourself with The Scrum Guide.

Target Audience:

  • Anyone involved in product & solution development using the Scrum framework.
  • Particularly beneficial for those accountable for getting the most out of Scrum, including Scrum Masters, managers, and Scrum team members.

Agile Business Consortium Scrum Master learners will:

  • Gain a deep understanding of the Scrum Framework; the theory, practices, roles, rules and values as defined in The Scrum Guide.
  • Understand in detail the role of Scrum Master and how the role interacts with different members of the Scrum Team and other stakeholders.
  • Master the Scrum principles to better understand their application when returning to the workplace.

  • Help Scrum Product Owners shape and refine product backlogs to guide early and incremental delivery of valuable products.
