   Scrum Fundamentals  
- a self-paced online learning course

 
Description
Scrum is the most popular and most powerful Agile framework, and one which is increasingly adopted by organisations in both the business and public sectors to deliver maximum value to customers and clients in the face of accelerating and often unanticipated change.
The world of work is experiencing seismic change. Across the business landscape, autonomous cars, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things and other advanced technologies demands reskilling for the technology-enabled workplace. The COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a forcing function, exposing dysfunctions and flaws in the structure, processes and culture of organisations. As a result, many are urgently switching to Agile for the first time or looking to speed up their acquisition of Business Agility. Scrum – or a hybrid of Scrum with other Agile methods – is the approach adopted by more than 80% of Agile teams. Scrum skills are in sharp demand.
