This highly informative, fast-pace, eight-hour course is intended to provide an overview of Scrum, establishing a common language and starting point for Scrum teams and individuals within an organization. Adding a unique dimension to the learning process, this course is structured and taught using Scrum, starting with a product backlog of learning events which are divided into four two-hour sprints. Instructor and students will collaborate to generate the best possible outcome, learning the process by doing. At the end of each sprint, the class will track and evaluate progress, adjusting the plan to accommodate the realities of the classroom environment (student understanding, areas of concern and time remaining). Within 24 hours of completing the class, students will be given a recommended reading list to address specific concerns raised within the class.
