IDC research indicates that 70+% of software development failures are due to poor gathering and management of requirements, while a 2008 study by QSMA Associates showed that projects organized for agile development deliver products 37% faster to market, with 16% greater productivity, than industry averages.
The desire for fewer failures and speedier success is driving the rapid adoption of the Scrum process framework, and the increasing need for trained people who can make agile projects successful. Scrum is designed from the start to improve responsiveness to customer needs, reduce wastage, and reduce time to market.
This course provides the in-depth training necessary to create, manage, and execute a Scrum process successfully. You will go beyond mastery of individual skills to mastery of a complete Scrum process. Having learned the steps, you will now learn how to choreograph the performance, and employ your skills to plan and execute a full-up Scrum process in class. You will leave the class with enough knowledge to repeat your success back at the office.
