Agile & Scrum: The Absolute Beginner’s Guide, Kickstart your PM journey with Agile & Scrum basics: roles, Sprints, burndown, velocity.
Course Description
“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”
Curious about Agile but not sure where to start? This friendly, zero-jargon course gives you the core ideas and language you need to feel useful on any Agile team—without overwhelm. In short, focused lessons, you’ll see why Agile matters today, how it differs from traditional project management, and how simple habits like short Sprints, daily check-ins, and frequent feedback keep work on track.
You’ll get a clear, practical tour of Scrum—the most popular Agile framework. We’ll cover what each role actually does (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers), how the key events work (Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Review, Retrospective), and what artifacts keep everyone aligned. We’ll make the Agile Manifesto, the Four Values, and the Twelve Principles easy to grasp with everyday examples, then tie it all together with a step-by-step Sprint walkthrough so you can picture the flow from day one to demo day.
We’ll also show you how to talk about value, not just tasks. You’ll learn the Agile Iron Triangle, why delivering early and often reduces risk, and how to read simple metrics like Burndown and Velocity without getting lost in charts. Along the way, you’ll see how self-organizing teams and servant leadership create the focus and trust that make great projects possible.
