"This was my first virtual training class. I was very nervous about learning this way. I learn best visually within groups for conversation. I can honestly say I felt very connected and feel the class was just as effective as an in-person training." - Monica G
Scrum is the agile development process that allows teams to deliver usable software periodically throughout the life of the project, absorbing change and new requirements as the project proceeds. As we move through the disciplines promoted by Scrum you will gain a comprehensive understanding of this agile product development methodology while specifically reviewing the behaviors expected of a Product Owner. While many of us may be accustomed to the practice of establishing value and priority across projects, the Product Owner needs to consider value and priority across the features of a single project.
Beginning with the history of agile development and moving through the disciplines promoted by Scrum, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Scrum methodology while practicing the use of Scrum and the responsibilities of the Product Owner with a small team of classmates.
Our agenda includes, among other things, the following (see more details on the "agenda" tab):
- what does it mean to be "agile?"
- an overview of the Scrum Framework followed by a detailed simulation
- establishing product expectations, including Vision as part of the Five Levels of Planning
- using velocity and story points to project a schedule
- prioritization considerations and methods
- extracting value from our work while understanding the cost of change
Before coming to class you'll receive via email pre-requisite Scrum overview reading material. Additionally, as part of the two-day class each participant will receive the following:
- electronic access to all presentation and exercise materials from Winnow Management for one year
- paid registration with the Scrum Alliance as Certified Scrum Product Owners
- membership with the Scrum Alliance for two years
Class runs for a total of 15 hours, and participants can claim up to 16 PDU's or Contact Hours with the PMI. These PDUs can also apply towards your 21 contact hour requirement for your Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) status.
"An excellent job capturing all the topics, and we had an awesome team, great conversations, and interactions. Awesome information, great teaching and manner of delivering the materials. I was skeptical about doing this online, but between, Zoom and Miro, plus the advanced materials provided / recommended to us, it was a breeze. I would recommend the online course to anyone." - Yves J.
