About this course
Get started with Agile development and Scrum in this self-paced introductory course. You'll learn the Agile ideas of adaptive planning, iterative development and continuous improvement, which lead to earlier deliveries and more value for customers, and how Scrum works as a framework alongside them. You'll also meet related approaches such as Waterfall, Extreme Programming (XP) and Kanban.
The course covers Agile practices that come from lean manufacturing, such as test-driven development, how a Scrum Team works, writing good user stories and tracking progress on a Kanban board. You'll see how to create and refine a Product Backlog with the team and the customer, use burndown charts, work towards a Sprint Goal and run the Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective.
It is made up of short video lessons, a summary of the key points and a short practice quiz. It suits anyone starting to work the Agile way, including project managers, product managers, software developers, development managers and new Scrum Masters.
