2-day Agile and Scrum Bootcamp | January 28

About This Workshop Series

Scrum is used extensively, but not exclusively, in web and software development. Everyone from developers to business execs are now expected to know how to work using Scrum, but few are taught it and many struggle along with misinformed ideas.

This bootcamp will cover the main principles and ideas underpinning agile and why using Scrum is the best way to run certain projects. Through games, hands-on practice and project simulations, you’ll be armed with the knowledge of how to use Scrum on a day-to-day basis. The bootcamp will also give you knowledge that you can put towards obtaining scrum certifications, such as the PSM I offered by Scrum.org.

This is a bootcamp for beginners and those with some experience of Scrum. No prior knowledge is required. This bootcamp is aimed at anyone who wants to know more about agile and Scrum. Knowledge on how to use Scrum is particularly important to those involved in web development, software engineering and business development, but it isn’t limited to the tech industry.
