The course is taught through interactive activities, lecture (some), real-world experiences and discussions and sharing. Don’t expect to sit in your seat for two days. Do expect to change.

At the successful completion of the workshop, you will understand how the Scrum framework can be applied to your current and future projects and you will be ready to take the 60 question online ScrumMaster exam administered by the Scrum Alliance.
