Description
An Online Class Created for Humans
The course is way more than a collection of online videos. It’s real online training
It covers most of the material of two-day in-person courses, but at a level of depth appropriate for remote learning
The 12 modules average 25 minutes in length, so you can make meaningful progress in small increments.
Videos are under 10 minutes, allowing learners to stay focused and retain information
Designed for adult learners, each crisp and clean module includes a brief introductory exercise to engage learners, a video explaining the topic, exercises to reinforce the concepts from the video and a learning log to reflect on what they learned
The Theory and the Reality
Fake Agile and Scrum charlatans run amok. In this course you will learn how proper Scrum works, because this course was created by Agile pioneers who’ve been on the hook for making it work. You will learn lessons gained from the trenches. There is a continual focus on what works well, where teams fall short and common dysfunctions to avoid.
This course embodies agility In Real Life. Learn from people who have been there.
You will learn the right way to practice Scrum, as detailed in the Scrum Guide
You will also hear knowledge gained from the trenches. There is a continual focus on what works well, where teams fall short and what common dysfunctions do you need to look out for.
All of that in a format that allows people to work at their pace, on their time, for a fraction of the cost of in-person training classes.
