Applying the Scrum framework requires changing our habits and our intuitive way of working. IncrementOne’s interactive classes, whether online or in-person, are built around a simulation exercise in which you, the attendees, work together on a team to create a new product. You will discover how Scrum works through direct experience, making mistakes and learning from those mistakes in a safe environment within the class, so that you can apply Agile and Scrum practices with confidence in your own work environment, whatever that might be.

Our classes are designed to maximize engagement, understanding and retention, blending lecture and classroom discussion with exercises, games and simulations. Using Scrum to teach the class allows us to manage the pace of the class while taking time to move and refresh our brains to stay focused throughout the day.

The key topics covered in the class include:

• Lean and Agile and how Scrum relates to these core principles
• The learning cycle or empirical process as an engine for continuous learning
• How the Scrum framework allows teams to frequently deliver working products
• A team simulation demonstrating the value of each element of the Scrum approach
• A deep dive into the three cornerstones for creating small delivery increments
• Introduction to the Scrum Alliance and preparation for the CSM Exam
