Course Content and Agenda
The course consists of seven modules, spread over two days.
Understanding Scrum as a lightweight Agile project management framework and what the Scrum Master needs to implement and manage the framework to effectively facilitate the team through the Scrum process.
Identify the attributes of Scrum, the Scrum values, core practices, artefacts and ceremonies as the Scrum Master needs to understand these key activities to facilitate, guide and mentor teams and help them to become self-managing and self-organising.
Recognise the format and content of User Stories and how they are estimated and prioritised to coach and mentor the team in producing clear and concise User Stories and Acceptance Criteria.
Appreciate Scrum Planning and the importance of planning in the Scrum Process, as the Scrum Master has to understand both the release and sprint planning process, so that they can effectively facilitate these meetings and manage progress against plan and consequential risk.
Comprehend sprints and the design development and testing within a sprint as the Scrum Master is required to support these processes and be available to remove roadblocks for the team.
Know why retrospectives and continuous improvement is important to be incorporated into each sprint.
