Course Overview
Hi everyone, my name is Jeremy Jarrell, and welcome to my course, Scrum Master Fundamentals - Foundations. I'm an Agile coach, Scrum Master, and product owner who helps teams get better at what they do. Agile is quickly becoming the leading approach for high performing software development teams with Scrum overwhelmingly becoming the framework of choice for those teams. If you've suddenly found yourself in the Scrum Master role and need to help your team perform to their fullest potential, or if you're a seasoned Scrum Master looking to deepen their knowledge of the Scrum framework, then this course will explain the underlying theories and values of the framework to help you make the most of Scrum. Some of the major topics that we'll cover include understanding the overarching Agile approach and how it relates specifically to the Scrum framework, getting the most out of your sprints, as well as choosing the sprint length that's right for your team, and how to identify those environments where Scrum is likely to succeed, as well as those environments where Scrum may not be the right choice. By the end of this course, you'll know how Scrum relates to an overall Agile approach, as well as understand the deeper theories and values behind the Scrum framework itself. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn the foundations of the Scrum framework with the Scrum Master Fundamentals - Foundations course at Pluralsight.
