Agile & Scrum Foundations

Lessons

About This Module

Before you can help a team practise Scrum, you need to know what Scrum is and why it exists. Agile is a set of values and principles for working in small steps and responding to change, and Scrum is one lightweight framework for putting those ideas into practice.

You'll start with the Agile Manifesto: its four values and twelve principles, and what they say about how software should be built. Then you'll get a quick overview of the Scrum framework and how its parts fit together, followed by the three accountabilities of a Scrum Team from the Scrum Guide: the Developers, the Product Owner, and the Scrum Master.

With the foundations in place, you'll be ready for the next module, The Scrum Master Role, where you look at what a Scrum Master does and how servant leadership shapes the work.
