When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Great overview of Scrum terminology and processes. Would recommend some videos before shorter or more interactive points to drive learning (break into 4 min. chunks - 17 min. is too long).

Reviewed on Jul 14, 2023

Amazing teaching! However, the slides have a couple of spelling errors that should be corrected. Also, seeing the face of the instructor helps in assimilation. Great course overall

Reviewed on Dec 7, 2022

Well explained introduction to Scrum with a lot of useful graphics/visualizations. It was easy to follow and keep encouraged. The quizzes were a good review for understanding.
