Description

The Scrum.org Professional Scrum Foundations™ (PSF) course is an intensive 2-day instructor-led workshop for students who have an elementary understanding of the terms in agile but little or no experience. This is a directly hands on class with many examples and exercises. The objective of the class is to apply learnings directly into the workplace for a beginning agile team. The course is created by and endorsed by Scrum.org, the international curator of the official Scrum agile process and is taught by a certified scrum professional trainer who has been rigorously assessed by Ken Schwaber (the inventor of Scrum) and the scrum.org committee. This practical classroom experience equips attendees to get started with Scrum, to sustain successful habits, and to avoid common Scrum pitfalls. Students learn the basics of Scrum and how to implement Scrum effectively and keep their team practicing healthy behaviors.
