Scrum is the most widely used agile framework, and almost every agile coach is expected to know it deeply. It is a lightweight framework built on empiricism: teams learn from experience and make decisions based on what they observe, rather than what they predict.
You'll start with the theory and values behind Scrum, then work through its three accountabilities, the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the Developers. Next come the five events (the Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective) and the artifacts with their commitments: the Product Backlog, the Sprint Backlog, and the Increment. The module closes with coaching Scrum teams, including how to spot "Scrum but" and other common anti-patterns.
With Scrum in hand, you'll be ready for the next module, Kanban & Flow, where you look at a different approach built around visualizing work and managing the flow of value.
An introduction to Scrum and the empirical process behind it, covering empiricism and lean thinking and the three pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
The five Scrum values of commitment, focus, openness, respect, and courage, and how living them keeps transparency, inspection, and adaptation working in practice.
What each of the three accountabilities owns, how they work together as one cross-functional, self-managing Scrum Team, and the common ways the roles get blurred or misunderstood.
A walkthrough of the Sprint and the four events inside it: Sprint Planning, the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Review, and the Sprint Retrospective. Covers the purpose and timebox of each.
The Product Backlog and Product Goal, the Sprint Backlog and Sprint Goal, and the Increment and Definition of Done, and how each one makes work transparent.
How a coach helps teams move from mechanical Scrum to genuine agility, and how to recognize and treat Zombie Scrum, “Scrum but”, and other recurring dysfunctions.
