Experience Scrum in Action
Don't just read about Scrum—experience it. Our Applying Professional Scrum (APS) training is a hands-on, two-day course that bridges the gap between theory and real-world application.
Many teams understand the mechanics of Scrum but struggle to apply it effectively. This course changes that. By working in a Scrum Simulation to build a real product over a series of Sprints, you will develop the "muscle memory" needed to use Scrum effectively in your own organization.
What You Will Learn
The focus of the APS training is learning by doing. We mix essential theory with the real experience of Sprints, allowing you to encounter common pitfalls and learn how to overcome them immediately.
Course Topics (Modules)
We guide you through the entire Scrum lifecycle:
- Fundamentals: Understanding the theory and first principles of Scrum.
- The Framework: Exploring the roles, events, and artifacts in depth.
