Learning Objectives
An Agile Project Manager facilitates, coaches and leads rather than plans, controls and directs. Within Scrum, this role is referred to as the ScrumMaster, to emphasise the difference and to remind the person of their new responsibilities.
This Course employs practical exercises, Case Studies and discussions to provide everything that a ScrumMaster needs to know to be able to drive a successful Scrum Project.
