One of the key principles of “adult learning” is that adults learn by doing. Applying Professional Scrum™ (APS) is a course that enables the same principle and allows students to explore and learn about Professional Scrum and Scrum Framework while using Scrum. During the course students work as Scrum Teams to carry out Sprints where they engage in discussions and activities that foster learning objectives of the course.
During the two days of the class students learn to apply Professional Scrum. They experience how the Scrum framework enables teams to deliver more value, satisfy stakeholders and work better together.
By working through complex problems in sprints during the session, students gain experience with the challenges they'll encounter in practice. They also uncover common myths, misunderstanding and anti-patterns associated with Scrum. This makes the students aware of the associated symptoms and how to correct them. Students not only learn Scrum; they learn how to use Scrum well.
At the end of the course students are also eligible to a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I certification exam (PSM I).
The Applying Professional Scrum (APS) course is ideal for:

The ‘Fundamentals of Scrum’ dives into the core principles that make a successful Scrum team. We'll explore the Agile Manifesto, its values and principles, that provide the foundation for Scrum. We'll then delve into the origins of Scrum itself, understanding the key differences between project and product management. We will also learn to identify complex problems and navigate them using Scrum's core concepts of empiricism and lean thinking. Finally, we'll solidify your understanding by examining the essential Scrum values that underpin the entire Scrum framework.
This section will delve into the essential elements of Scrum. We'll explore the various Scrum events, understanding their purpose and how they facilitate smooth project execution. Additionally, we'll examine the artifacts – the tangible outputs that track progress and ensure transparency. A crucial aspect we'll cover is the concept of "Definition of Done," establishing clear criteria for meeting quality standards within each iteration.
We go beyond the basics of Scrum to explore the intricacies of building and leading high-performing Scrum Teams. We'll delve into cross-functionality, and self-management, and addressing impediments. Learn how to manage undone work, navigate technical debt, and embrace the concept of emergent architecture for a more successful Scrum journey.
Master the art of planning in Scrum! In this section, we dive deep into key concepts like Sprint Planning and how to approach planning across different horizons. We'll explore how the Product Backlog and Product Goal connect, then get hands-on with creating Sprint Backlogs that align with your Sprint Goal. Additionally, you'll learn techniques for Product Backlog refinement, estimation, and forecasting to ensure your Scrum Team sets achievable goals.
