Scrum Immersion - Workshop by Ken Schwaber and Scrum.org

This pre-conference workshop (additional registration required) provides a full day introducing attendees to Scrum. This day of hands-on experience creating software with Scrum ensures attendees are familiar with the Scrum framework, the language and terminology of Scrum, and complimentary practices that can help Scrum succeed.

Ken Schwaber will lead this workshop along with other trainers from the Scrum.org community.

Who should attend

As a software development leader, you want to know more about Scrum and learn how it can be implemented to coexist with ALM, so that you can better manage the quality, risks, and predictability of your team’s software development project.

Course Abstract

This practical and interactive workshop equips attendees to get started with Scrum or tune up existing implementations. Students get to practice using the Scrum framework in this scenario-based workshop while discovering how to implement Scrum effectively and keep their team practicing healthy behaviors.

Attendees will actually make software in this workshop, so bring a laptop. But, don’t think this is just for coders! This workshop is a subset of the official Scrum.org Professional Scrum Foundations class and is a great way for anyone to learn what Scrum is by experiencing it in a classroom environment.
