There are 6 modules in this course

Your organization is moving toward Agile, and the gap between knowing Scrum exists and being able to use it correctly is where most transitions stall. In this module, you'll build a working grasp of why Agile emerged, how Scrum's roles, events, and artifacts fit together, and how the framework's pillars and values translate into day-to-day team behavior so you can start applying Scrum with confidence.

Your team's success as a Scrum Team rests less on following a checklist and more on how clearly you see your roles and support each other. In this module, you'll identify the defining characteristics of a strong Scrum Team and pinpoint what makes an effective Product Owner, Developer, and Scrum Master so you can build real accountability.

Your Sprint can easily fill up with unstructured meetings that are just as unproductive as no meetings at all. In this module, you'll structure a purposeful Sprint Planning session, run a focused Daily Scrum, organize a Sprint Review that builds stakeholder trust, and facilitate a Retrospective that turns reflection into real improvement, so your team's rhythm works for them instead of against them.

If your Product Backlog is just a long, unordered list of requests, it creates more confusion than clarity. In this module, you'll structure a Product Backlog that stays emergent and ordered, build a Sprint Backlog that gives your team a clear plan for the Sprint ahead, and keep both backlogs healthy through ongoing refinement, so your team always knows what to build next and why.

Finishing a piece of work means little if you and your team can't agree on what "finished" actually means. In this module, you'll build Increments that are additive and immediately usable, apply a shared Definition of Done that holds quality steady, and use the Product Goal and Sprint Goal to keep your team's work coherent from one Sprint to the next.

You've reached the starting line, not the finish line, for building real fluency with Scrum. In this module, you'll pull together your key takeaways into a concrete plan for continuing to grow, and connect with resources and communities that can support you well beyond this course.
