Training programme

1. Introduction

Scrum emerged as a response to project environments where fixed plans quickly lose relevance. The opening section places the framework in context, outlines its purpose, and prepares participants to understand how iterative delivery differs from traditional approaches to managing work.

2. 12 Principles of Agile

Behind Scrum stands the broader Agile mindset expressed through 12 principles. This part connects those principles with day-to-day project work, showing how they shape customer collaboration, responsiveness to change, sustainable pace, and continuous improvement across the delivery process.

3. Practices and tools useful for working in a team

Teamwork in Scrum depends on practices that improve coordination, knowledge sharing, and joint ownership of results. Participants examine methods and supporting tools that help teams communicate effectively, structure collaboration, and maintain focus while working in an iterative environment.

4. Scrum and roles in the team

Roles in Scrum determine accountability for product value, process effectiveness, and team delivery. The responsibilities of the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Scrum Team are clarified together with their interactions, decision boundaries, and contribution to shared outcomes.

  • Product Owner,
  • Scrum Team,
  • Scrum Master.

5. Tools and their application

Using the right tools in Scrum means supporting visibility, coordination, and decision-making without overcomplicating the process. The section covers how selected tools are applied to organize backlog items, monitor ongoing work, and keep communication around priorities and status consistent.

6. Key concepts (increment, sprint)

Increment and sprint define the rhythm and output of Scrum work. Here the focus is on what a usable increment means, how a sprint frames planning and delivery, and why these concepts are essential for maintaining cadence, accountability, and regular validation of progress.

7. Fundamentals

Transparency, inspection, and adaptation form the logic behind Scrum rather than a separate set of rules. This section explains how these pillars influence daily work, support evidence-based decisions, and create the conditions for continuous adjustment during product development.

  • transparency,
  • inspection,
  • adaptation.

8. Process flow

From product backlog to sprint review and retrospective, the workflow shows how ideas become delivered increments. Attention is given to planning, creating the sprint backlog, refining upcoming work, and using recurring events to steer execution and improve the next cycle.

  • product backlog,
  • sprint planning,
  • sprint backlog,
  • backlog refinement,
  • sprint review,
  • sprint retrospectives.

9. Progress monitoring and risk management in projects

Tracking project health in Scrum relies on regular inspection of progress, early detection of obstacles, and timely response to uncertainty. Participants work through how risk is exposed through short iterations, team transparency, and ongoing review of scope, pace, and delivery results.

10. Advantages of using Scrum

Faster response to change, shorter feedback loops, and clearer prioritization are among the main reasons teams choose Scrum. The section explains how iterative delivery supports business value, improves cooperation with stakeholders, and increases visibility of work and outcomes.

11. Implementation in enterprises

Enterprise adoption requires aligning Scrum with existing governance, delivery models, and decision paths. This part addresses how organizations introduce the framework in practice, where adaptations are needed, and how to scale collaboration without losing empirical control over work.

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Basic project work knowledge - You should understand what a project, task, deadline, and team responsibility mean so you can relate new Scrum concepts to work situations you already know from practice.

icon

Teamwork experience - It is helpful if you have worked with other people on shared tasks, because the training is built around team roles, communication, and planning work together effectively.

icon

Openness to change - You should be ready to explore an iterative way of working and frequent review of outcomes, because Scrum relies on regular adaptation, inspection, and priority refinement.

icon

Awareness of company context - It helps if you know the basic realities of how your team or company operates, so you can better assess how roles, sprints, and backlogs could be applied in practice.
