What is this Scrum foundations crash course about?

The Scrum Agile framework enables emerging practices in complex domains (such as building innovative products). It is not a comprehensive process, much less a methodology. Scrum promotes a relational and iterative workflow of inspection and adaptation to establish practices and procedures rather than outlining in detail how tasks should be performed. In complex environments, there are no best or promising practices. The Team (comprised of the Scrum Master, the Scrum Product Owner, and Developers) will choose the best solution for every case, thanks to its learning and sef-managing skills.

What will you learn?

The Scrum definition, how it works, and the philosophy behind the Agile Manifesto and Scrum.

What do the Scrum Master, the Product Owner and Developers do? We will go through their responsibilities to better understand the Scrum Team functioning. Cross-functional and self-managed teams. Agile teams' ideal size.

What is a Sprint, and how is it like to work in interations (Sprints)? The goals and activities for each of the other events (meetings): Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.

The three Scrum artifacts and their main attributes: the Product Backlog, the Sprint Backlog, and the Product Increment. Product Backlog Items (PBIs) and their order. The relationship between the Product Backlog and the product objective. The connection between the Sprint Backlog and the Sprint Goal. How the Product Increment and Definition of Done (DoD) align. Product Backlog Refinement.

You will understand the reason this framework is so widely used across industries and the factors leading to Agility.

You will be familiar with Scrum and the Agile Manifesto's principles and values, as well as how to put them into use.

You will get to know the responsibilities and expectations of each of the Scrum Team members (Developers, Scrum Product Owner, and Scrum Master), and what do they do on a daily basis.

You will understand the key features of the four Scrum meetings (events): Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.

You will learn the reason behind every Scrum Event and how the workflow occurs within each Sprint, from the very beginning of the cycle at the Sprint Planning to the Retrospective Meeting.

You will understand each Artifact and their distinctive role as work organizers and information radiators, and how they help achieve successful results in building products.
