Accredited Agile Scrum Master

Follow the EXIN accredited agile scrum master syllabus to earn certification while exploring the Agile Manifesto, the scrum master's role, sprints, releases, daily stand up, and metrics.

Outlines the 2019 syllabus update for the accredited agile scrum master, noting two new agile methodologies, the scaled agile framework, and LeSS, with reduced weighting for agile.

Explore the agile way of thinking and the agile scrum master accreditation, outlining the agile foundations, exam requirements, and the shift from waterfall to iterative, collaborative delivery.

Explore how the Agile manifesto prioritizes individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change, while debunking myths and embracing flexibility.

Learn the 12 agile principles underlying the manifesto, emphasizing customer value, early and continuous delivery of working software, welcoming changing requirements, collaboration, and self-organizing teams.

Compare waterfall and agile, and see how a product backlog, sprint planning, and stand-ups drive incremental value. ITIL service management integrates agile practices for end-to-end delivery.

This lecture surveys agile methodologies beyond Scrum, including extreme programming and lean, and explains tailoring and hybrids to fit projects while avoiding mid-project changes.

Explore Kanban, Crystal, and DSDM within agile methodologies, using visual post-it boards, osmotic communication, and emphasis on customer involvement and minimal processes for iterative delivery.

Explore how agile methodologies, with Scrum, address complex problems by breaking epic stories into bite-size user stories, enabling productive, creative delivery of high-value products through transparency, inspection, and adaptation.

Explore agile methodologies and Scrum roles, including the Scrum Master, product owner, and agile coach. Understand backlog management, impediments, and the servant leader mindset to drive team value and alignment.

Discover how LeSS and SAFe scale agile for large teams, blending lean waste reduction, incremental delivery, and Shu Ha Ri with cross-domain planning and decentralized decisions.

Discover how the scrum team is built, with the scrum master as a servant leader guiding roles, responsibilities, coaching, training, mediation, and communication, internal or external masters, without rotation.

Discover how the Scrum Master removes impediments, builds a self-organizing, cross-functional team, and defines the definition of done for sprints. Learn team development, coaching, and strategies like split and seed.

Identify sources of resistance to agile change and apply organizational change management to overcome passive and active resistance, skeptics and saboteurs. Prepare teams for transition from waterfall to Scrum.

Explore common team resistance to agile and scrum adoption, distinguishing active and passive resistance and showing how to overcome it through communication and a pragmatic pilot.

Discover how agile scrum teams manage common interactions with HR, facilities, PMO, and distributed, culturally diverse members to build team coherence, effective communication, and productive collaboration.

Explore the roles within a scrum team, detailing the scrum master's servant leadership and the product owner's decision authority, backlog ownership, and collaboration to deliver customer value.

Transform a project vision into features, epics, and bite-size user stories, then plan, estimate, and release iteratively with Scrum, comparing with waterfall and tracking progress with big visible charts.

Learn the basics of scrum planning and user stories, including backlog management, product owner responsibilities, and acceptance criteria, with post-it notes and kanban boards.

Manage a dynamic backlog of user stories with a Kanban board and product owner guidance. Define a deep backlog with detailed, emergent, estimated stories and regular grooming.

Explore the Scrum planning layers, from high-level roadmaps and release planning to sprint detail and daily stand-ups, showing how iterative, incremental goals guide velocity and self-organized teams.

Discover why sprint planning matters, estimate stories with story points, and balance backlog, velocity, and capacity to build a realistic sprint backlog and release plan.

Discover how sprint planning remains agile by planning at the start of each sprint, embracing change, and balancing efficiency, value delivery, quality, and agility to deliver value.

explains sprint planning by measuring velocity, capacity, and estimation, using story points, ideal days, and planning poker to forecast backlog work, and clarifies the scrum master and product owner roles.

Delve into sprint planning and estimation, covering velocity, capacity, and decomposing stories into tasks. Learn how backlogs, dependencies, buffers, and cone of uncertainty guide accurate estimates.

Explore how to justify agile projects with ROI and VOI, identifying new, incremental, and retained revenue, plus operational efficiencies and non-financial gains, through a robust business case.

Drive sprint progress by maintaining production-ready deliverables, daily stand-ups, and removing impediments. Use information radiators, Kanban boards, burn up and burn down charts, and communication to monitor velocity and defects.

Close the sprint by reviewing progress against the definition of done, sign off on completed stories, and reflect in a retrospective guided by the Scrum Master and Product Owner.

Adapt to agile by building awareness, desire, and ability across the organization; promote and transfer scrum practices to improve productivity, time to market, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction.

Prepare for the agile scrum master exam with EXIN sample papers, learn the 40-question 90-minute format, review exam rules, and apply tips to schedule, prepare, and pass.

Master agile concepts through exam-style questions and answers on definitions of done, user stories, sprint planning, and scrum roles. Analyze estimation, backlogs, and metrics through real sample questions.
