Become a Scrum Guru the Easiest Way: Ultimate Scrum Guide

Scrum is by far the most popular of the Agile frameworks for developing complex products. This course provides a working knowledge of the Scrum framework — the underlying principles, practices, techniques and skills necessary for you to succeed as a Scrum Master. If you are already on a Scrum team you will learn how to become a change agent to help your team achieve a higher level of success.

During the development of this course, my main focus remained on making this learning process easy and fun. I like teaching with a straight-to-the-point/no-fluff approach. This course has a good mix of video lectures, pdf guides, and quizzes in order to help you understand the objectives.

The course is a little over 1.5 hours and will also include resources for you to help out with the certification! I will eventually add practice exam questions as we progress in this class. There are several exercise files included in this course and more resources will be added on a weekly basis. You will go through the following 7 sections:

1. What is Scrum?

2. What are the 3 Scrum Roles?

3. What is the Process?

4. What are the 4 Scrum Ceremonies?

5. What are the 3 Artifacts of Scrum?

6. What are the 5 Values of Scrum?

7. What are the Top Scrum Terms?
