Scrum for Executives

S4E | Full or Half Day

This instructor-led class is intended to answer three questions commonly asked by executives, managers, and other decision makers: What is Scrum? Why should I care? and What will be expected of me to properly adopt Scrum? Through presentation and discussion, attendees will learn the answers to these questions. By forming into teams and collaborating on activities, attendees will further experience these truths.

Audience
