Applying Professional Scrum (APS)

Service Description

Applying Professional ScrumTM (APS) is a hands-on course that provides the foundational knowledge needed to work with Scrum in a highly practical way. The course is a combination of instruction and team-based exercises. During the exercises, students work in Scrum Teams over a series of Sprints to learn Scrum while using Scrum. They experience first-hand how the Scrum framework improves their ability to deliver value compared to traditional methods. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I certification exam (PSM I). During the class, students experience Professional Scrum. They experience new, agile working methods that enable teams to deliver more value, satisfy stakeholders, and work better together. Students work together as a team in a series of Sprints to build a product, facing the same problems they face outside of class, and learn how to use Scrum to address them. The events, roles, artifacts, and principles of Scrum are leveraged during the exercises. By emphasizing the practical application of Scrum, the course also exposes common missteps and misunderstandings, allowing students to develop an awareness of the associated symptoms and how to correct them. Students not only learn Scrum; they also learn how to use Scrum well.
