Scrum is a framework for developing, delivering and sustaining complex products through effective team collaboration.

A Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum – as defined in The Scrum Guide – by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules and values.

Our two-day course addresses the principles and theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role of the Scrum Master.
