Get started with using Agile Development and Scrum with this self-paced introductory course! After successfully completing this course, you will be able to embrace the Agile concepts of adaptive planning, iterative development, and continuous improvement - resulting in early deliveries and value to customers.

You will look at Scrum as a framework and learn how to apply it alongside Agile. You will also become familiar with related methodologies like Waterfall, Extreme Programming (XP), and Kanban. Apply Agile practices derived from lean manufacturing concepts, like test-driven development. Learn how a scrum team functions. Also learn about the importance of Agile iterative planning and enable yourself to write good user stories and track your team’s progress using a kanban board. Create and refine a product backlog collaboratively with the team and the customer, in a flexible and blameless culture. You'll also learn how to use burndown charts, achieve sprint goals, and conduct the sprint review and retrospective. This approach will lead you to higher levels of efficiency, with the ability to plan and execute sprints with your development team, measuring success with actionable metrics. This course is about more than facts and processes. It is about working collaboratively on a self-organizing team, coached by a scrum master, and building what is needed, rather than simply following a plan. Developed and taught by an experienced Agile practitioner, the course includes hands-on practice through realistic scenario-based labs using GitHub and ZenHub. The course will benefit anyone who wants to get started with working the Agile way or transform the organizational culture to adopt and realize the benefits of Scrum. This includes Project Managers, Product Managers, and Executives. It is particularly suitable for IT practitioners such as software developers, development managers, and IT Scrum Masters.

In this module, you will be introduced to the philosophy and characteristics of Agile. You will learn about other methodologies including Waterfall, Extreme Programming (XP) and Kanban, and how they relate to Agile. You’ll explore the five practices of working Agile. Next, you’ll get an overview of Scrum as a framework for applying Agile principles to project management. You’ll learn how Scrum benefits the project management process by advocating defined roles, events, and artifacts. You’ll learn how companies can organize for success using Agile, and how team alignment and autonomy contribute to building better systems. You’ll also learn how to recognize and avoid Agile anti-patterns and measure Scrum team health.

Geprüft am 20. Okt. 2023

this was one of great courses I have ever participated in. before this I have learned about agile in one of university courses and I thought I understood it. But no, I was far from that

Geprüft am 24. Okt. 2024

This is the best Coursera course I have taken thus far. I found it to be very clear and precise. It closed a lot of the gaps with regard to my understanding of Scrum and Agile.

No. This is an introductory course that assumes no prior knowledge of Agile, Scrum, or DevOps.

To complete the labs, you will need to set up an account for GitHub and set up an account for Zenhub. Both are free and available via a web browser! There is nothing to download or instrall. A guide for signing up for these accounts is included in the course material, with screen shots and simple step-by-step instructions.

Yes. The labs are optional so that managers and executives can complete the course without completing the labs. If you are a practitioner, or are pursuing the DevOps Foundation Specialization or DevOps Professional Certificate, you are strongly encouraged to complete the labs, as well as the optional HONORS module project.

If you opt to not do the labs, you will still be able to receive a certificate of completion for this course, Introduction to Agile Development and Scrum.

This course goes beyond basic project management to introduce foundational technical execution practices derived from DevOps and Lean manufacturing. You will learn to implement Extreme Programming (XP) engineering principles, including working in small batches, building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and practicing pair programming. Crucially, it covers how these foundational steps connect directly to modern software practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD).

You will gain hands-on experience translating customer needs into highly structured, developer-ready requirements. The modules guide you through writing high-quality user stories, defining clear acceptance criteria, and collaboratively estimating complexity using story points. You will then learn the mechanics of the sprint planning process: building, grooming, and prioritizing a product backlog, and managing those tasks dynamically through a sprint lifecycle using GitHub Projects or ZenHub Kanban boards.

Predictability and continuous improvement are essential to self-organizing teams. You will learn how to facilitate core Scrum events, from running daily stand-ups to conducting formal sprint reviews and sprint retrospectives. To measure team velocity and track progress toward a sprint goal, you will learn to generate and analyze burndown charts. This enables you to leverage actionable metrics to forecast development capacity, identify team anti-patterns, and continuously optimize performance.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.
