Synopsis

In the Agile world, we can no longer count on one single person (e.g., PM/SM) to ensure success. Adaptive leadership and self-organizing team imply Agility. Only happy developers can create happy customers and high valued products. The Scrum methodology is a framework that relies on cross team members to deliver products in shorter cycle and faster react to customer feedback.

Scrum is like a game, which can be finished in many ways. The Scrum Master (or Coach) becomes an important role that is regarded as a servant leader to: a) protect the development team from interruptions, b) remove obstacles during development, c) tell project/product vision and d) provide productive working environment.

This class will re-cap the Agile approach to software development or new product/service development. This approach helps developers to bring values to customers or users during a significant change in an organization. The second part of this class will equip Scrum Master to lead the team without drilling into technical issues.

Upon completion of this course, Agile professionals will be able to:

• Know Agile Manifesto, its implications and triple constraints
• Know different implementation of Agile practices
• Know the Critical success factors and pitfalls
• Articulate the values of planning, delivering, confirming and tracking
• Identify and engage stakeholder
• Build and guide an effective Scrum team
• Learn tools & techniques of leadership
• Boost team performance
