Certification EXIN Agile Scrum | TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT duration Evening
Scrum is a heuristic framework that helps teams working together. Since Scrum is all about continuous improvement – which is a fundamental tenet of the Agile methodology – we often tend to think that Scrum and Agile are the same thing. However, although the two concepts are deeply connected, they are actually quite distinct: while Scrum is effectively a framework that gets the job done, Agile is a mindset.
Just like a team training for a sport event, the Scrum framework encourages teams to continually learn and improve themselves through experience, self-organization, problem solving and reflection on both achievements and failures. Considering that at the beginning of a project there is no comprehensive knowledge of what the future holds, Scrum is structured to help teams adapt naturally to the changing conditions and needs of both users and/or the market, with a process-integrated redefinition of priorities and short release cycles that allow the team to constantly learn and improve. Scrum is currently the most popular Agile framework in the world; in fact, the latest annual report on the use of Agile methodologies places it in first place: 58% of professionals use Scrum, while another 10% combines Scrum and XP.
Through its practical and concrete approach, this course offers professionals in any sector the opportunity to achieve an internationally recognized certification that combines Agile principles with Scrum practices. The Agile Scrum Certification is particularly interesting for anyone working in areas that include project management, software development, IT service management, and business management.
