This Scrum Master Certification for PSM & Agile Foundation course prepares you for the Professional Scrum Master® (PSM® I) Certification exam. This course also covers the key components of Agile using Scrum. We address the challenges of adopting and opportunities provided by integrating an Agile product development and project management approach. Scrum is the most popular Agile framework that uses simple techniques to increase productivity, delivery, and quality. This methodology also leads to greater team satisfaction. Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework for developing any product or managing any work. Scrum provides a framework which allows teams to deliver a potentially shippable set of functionality every iteration, providing the agility needed to respond to rapidly changing requirements. The Scrum framework constantly challenges its users to focus on improvement. Its Sprints provide the stability to address the ever-changing needs that occur in any project. These characteristics have led to Scrum becoming the most popular method in the world of Agile software development. This course concentrates on areas the Professional Scrum Master PSM I exam focuses on. Delivered by Data Analysis & Results experienced and certified instructors and consultants.
