After this course you can actively fill the Scrum Master role: you guide a team through estimating and planning, make progress visible and tackle obstacles the team cannot solve alone. You also learn how agile working carries over to complex projects and how an organisation can adopt it step by step. The course suits you if you know the Scrum basics and want to take on this role, or put your existing practice on firmer ground.
