Overview

Agile Scrum is about working together to successfully reach a goal. Agile methodologies are popular approaches in software development and are increasingly being used in other areas. Scrum practices include establishing cross-functional and self-managing teams, producing a working deliverable at the end of each iteration or Sprint. This certification focuses on adopting Agile or Scrum in the workplace and taking on the role of Scrum Master.

The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum framework is understood by the team. Scrum Masters do this by coaching, training, and facilitating the Scrum team. The Scrum Master is responsible for maximizing the value the team creates. A successful Scrum Master can work well with others, both inside and outside the team. The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum team understand which interactions with the Scrum team are helpful and which are not.
