Discover the world of Agile product development and the Scrum framework — from principles and roles to techniques and scaling.
Agile Scrum — Simple, effective, and broadly applicable
Agile is a method of developing products and services in a flexible, fast way that are perceived as valuable by customers. The Agile approach is popular because it is simple, but especially because it generates little overhead.
This interactive training offers you insight into the world of Agile product development and the Scrum framework. You will be introduced to underlying concepts and principles, along with Scrum roles and responsibilities, events, artefacts, and scaling approaches, as well as general practices and techniques.
The strength of this training is that it provides a broad framework for anyone interested in or already working according to Agile principles. The focus is on working with Scrum, but other methods such as Kanban, Lean Startup, and Agile project management are also covered.

- Explanation of what happens during Sprint Planning and Release Planning meetings Sprint Planning meetings are held at the beginning of each Sprint. The team discusses the Product Backlog items that have been prioritised, and they collectively decide which items can be included in the Sprint Backlog. They then break down these items into smaller, actionable tasks, define the Sprint Goal, and estimate the effort required for each task. The outcome is a clear understanding of what can be achieved during the Sprint and a plan for how the team will accomplish it. Release Planning meetings are typically held less frequently than Sprint Planning, often at the beginning of a larger effort or at the start of a new release cycle. The purpose is to forecast what can be delivered in an upcoming release and roughly when. Teams review the Product Backlog and consider business objectives, known dependencies, and team capacity over a longer period. They create a high-level roadmap or release plan, identifying which major features or epics are likely to be included in the release and providing an estimated timeframe for their completion. This helps stakeholders understand the overall direction and potential delivery timeline without committing to specific dates for individual features at this stage.
