What you'll learn

Build your understanding of how Scrum works in practice within Agile teams.

By the end of the course, you will have stronger knowledge of how Scrum can be applied to support team performance and day-to-day delivery in Agile environments.

Scrum events

Learn how Scrum events structure work across the sprint, from planning at the outset to reviewing progress and reflecting on outcomes. By understanding when and how these points are used, you can help identify issues sooner, adjust work at the right time and maintain momentum during delivery, reducing delays and helping the sprint stay on track.

Backlog management

Explore how the product backlog helps you understand what needs to be delivered, what should be prioritised and how work is prepared for upcoming sprints. By building your knowledge of backlog refinement and readiness, you can help make upcoming work clearer and more actionable, improving planning and helping teams focus their time on the work that matters most.

Team collaboration

Examine how Scrum encourages shared responsibility, regular communication and closer collaboration across the team. By understanding how these ways of working improve alignment between team members, you can help reduce misunderstandings, strengthen day-to-day coordination and support faster resolution of issues, creating a more effective delivery environment.

Scrum artefacts

Build your understanding of Scrum artefacts and how they make work visible throughout delivery. By learning how they support progress tracking, shared understanding and day-to-day decision-making, you can help improve transparency around priorities and current activity, making it easier for teams and stakeholders to respond early when attention is needed.
