Sprints to build a product, thereby facing real-life problems. The

the course exposes common missteps and misunderstandings so students

knowledge, this course gives students the knowledge and direction to
start using Scrum immediately after the class.

DECOMPOSING REQUIREMENTS INTO ACTIONABLE BACKLOG ITEMS

WHY SCRUM.ORG TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION?
*
SCRUM.ORG IS RUN BY THE CO-CREATOR OF SCRUM, KEN SCHWABER. HE ALSO
MAINTAINS THE SCRUM GUIDE. THE ORGANIZATION IS RUN BY FOLKS WHO EAT,
SLEEP AND BREATHE SCRUM AND IT SHOWS IN THE CAREFULLY CRAFTED
CURRICULUM AND EXAMINATIONS.
*
IT AIN'T EASY. YOUR SCRUM.ORG CERTIFICATION WILL HOLD MORE CREDIBILITY
WITH EMPLOYERS BECAUSE YOU DON'T RECEIVE IT AUTOMATICALLY AFTER TAKING
