致力于提升研发企业的持续创新能力

This is a 2-day intensive Agile with Scrumcourse detailing how Scrum and related agile practices are applied by Scrum Team to rapidly deliver potentially shippable products in frequent, time-boxed iterations. The course uses a combination of lecture and experiential learning to develop a practical understanding of the Scrum framework focusing on the activities Agile teams perform while delivering to their commitments and aspiring to achieve hyper-productivity.

Based on the perspective of an effective ScrumMaster, this course will cover the concepts of Agile and Agile Project Management and Development, the Scrum framework including the process, ceremonies/key events, and artifacts that are used to manage product/project delivery, roles and responsibilities within the Scrum framework, and agile team principles. The concepts of the Scrum framework will be applied in a mini-project simulation, as well as being applied at various checkpoints in the class through the application of product backlog management, sprint planning, release planning and retrospectives. At the same time, special attention will be given to Agile estimating and test-driven work topic which is essential and critical to Agile work approach. Other advanced topics including Story Mapping and Scaling Scrum will be discussed and practiced as well.

TOPICAL OUTLINE:

(“eLearning” represents “experiential learning”, generally refer to learning forms of games, exercises, team activities or project simulations. Besides the big eLearning items here, throughout the class, from time to time, there are a few short exercises, group discussions & role plays, each with about 5-10 minutes long.)
