This customizable, four-day workshop is designed to quickly get a team or teams up and running with Scrum. In-class exercises introduce participants to their roles, responsibilities, interactions, tools and Scrum processes. These exercises are then extended to include information from the team’s current project. This workshop allows the team to learn Scrum within their own context and prepares them for their first release planning session and sprint. The workshop’s typical crawl-walk-run format includes: a crawl stage with presentations and discussion of key concepts; a walk stage that includes an experiential exercise to learn how to apply concepts; a run stage where the exercises is repeated using actual data from the team’s project.
