In this short video, we help you to understand if this is the right course for you.
The course focuses on students who are new to Scrum and wish to gain a thorough understanding as per the Scrum Guide, the Scrum Holy Grail. It is also extremely suited to those who are taking their first Scrum certification, whether it is the PSM1 from Scrum.org or the CSM exam.
As we started to put the timeline for this video together I realized that it would not be complete without including Lean.
I do get asked quite often about the difference between Agile and Lean. I won't specifically address that question here. But I will just say that both Lean and Agile were built on different values and different principles and that each evolved a set of practices based on those values and principles. A few examples would be Scrum and Kanban.
The fact that many of the practices can be said to be a member of both is a testament to the similarity in the core ideals!
The differences in the practices could also be partly put down to the generation gap between the two!
With Lean starting in the 1950s when problem-solving was in what we call the complicated phase of problem-solving to Agile, in this new century where we have moved into the complex zone with different problem-solving practices needed.
In this video, we learn about the core of Scrum, Empiricism, and the three pillars that support Scrum, Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation.
A brief look at the five Scrum Values: Commitment, Courage, Focus, Respect and Openness

Some additional information on the tpes of Scrum Master certifications that are out there and a deeper dive into three of the main qualifications, the PSM1, The CSM and the SSM
Before you read through this list, please be aware that not all Scrum teams will use all ten activities. In fact, some of them are debated in the agile world as unnecessary, red tape etc.
Some of them have sections dedicated to them in the Scrum guide while others don't even get a look in. But they are all very useful and I would say that they are all worthy of consideration, let your experience as a Scrum Master dictate your whether you use or dismiss!
