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.
