Course Overview

Scrum Certification Training for the Scrum Inc. Scrum Master

Scrum Inc Scrum - the Scrum that really works.

Jeff Sutherland launched the Scrum Inc. Scrum Program in August 2019 to share his experience with Scrum. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn his perspective and how to do Scrum successfully.

The first experiments with Scrum came about because previous work systems didn't work: Deliverables could not be delivered or were delivered late, customers were dissatisfied, teams were burned out. Classic management methods did not bring effective changes. Using scientific methods, Jeff Sutherland researched how systems could be changed, and in each case immediately delivered different results. His experience of over 35 years with Scrum is the core of this workshop.

In this workshop, participants will learn the background behind classic work systems, what it takes to change them, and why data plays an important role. Based on this, we will clarify how Jeff Sutherland's special background helps to keep the focus on the desired goals: delivering results and more value faster, satisfied customers and happy teams.

After this workshop, participants will have mastered the basics of Scrum and will be able to get started with Scrum. They have a deep understanding of roles, how artifacts are used, what to look for in events, and how these elements of Scrum work together. They know how teams can continuously improve and what Scrum Patterns they can use to do so. An insight into Jeff Sutherland's Scrum@Scale helps as an introduction if Scrum is to be used with multiple teams or networks of teams.

A special feature of this certification is that the original certification exam can also be taken in German.

The fees for the Scrum Inc. certification are already included in the course price. The Scrum exam should be taken within 60 days after completion of the course.
