Scrum and Agile Team Training Course Overview
Our 2-day Scrum and Agile Team Training is designed for people looking to set up or advance their Scrum way of working and use an agile approach for project and product delivery.
The course follows an agility framework based on Scrum and the Agile Manifesto, used primarily in software delivery.
While we do have preset hands-on exercises, if you prefer, this Scrum Training can also be modified with your own project/product content to make it fit your specific context. For example, suppose your organization uses the scaled agile framework in IT, but this agile team training is for another group. In that case, we can adapt to help you maintain those ceremonies allowing easy integration.
This course uses the Kirkpatrick level 3 Andragogy model and incorporates a software development simulation that combines agile theory with practical hands-on exercises. This model ensures you are prepared to effectively implement what you learn when you return to the office.
Learn Agile with your team
People often say, “Agile is a team sport.” We know nothing can beat a cross-functional self-managed team to accelerate time to market and reduce organizational leadership stress.
To be effective, everyone has to be on the same page, which is why we (and others) suggest teams be trained together.
This Scrum and Agile team training teaches you and your team the critical Agile principles and Scrum practices needed to execute them in your existing or future software project. In addition, to enhance learning, our training course allows you to simulate all the stages of a sprint (from planning to retrospectives). This way, you are equipped with the practical skills needed when you finish this agile boot camp training.
World-class Agile Team Instruction
Your instructors are Scrum Coaches, Software Project Managers, and Software Architects and Agile Delivery Executives who take time off work to provide agile training.
Our instructor’s deep real-world experience goes a long way to helping you learn and apply how to implement agile when you return to work. In addition, you can trust our instructors to answer your most pressing Scrum questions based on their experience from their working experience.
Here is an example of the top 40 questions we answer during the training.
Apply Agile To Your Business.
Throughout the 2-day Agile Boot Camp, we’re regularly integrating daily scrums, demonstrations, and retrospectives to reinforce your knowledge of Agile Methodologies and practices.
So, it’s not just the course content where we teach Agile but the entire format from when you introduce yourself on the first day until we wrap up in our last retrospective when the course is completed.
Agile and Scrum Team Training Audience
Our two-day Agile Team Training course is designed for three audiences:
- New agile teams that are looking to learn an agile way of working before going into their first project.
- Agile teams that are looking to take their skills to a higher level
- And teams looking for a refresher or because they have had a change in team members
This course is also a good fit for someone who has taken the certified ScrumMaster training from the Scrum Alliance and now needs help training their development teams and team members to effectively apply Scrum in your environment or project.
The agile training approach is similar for all three groups, but the scenarios become more difficult as your skill level increases. The course can also be tailored based on your specific desired outcomes or business context.
