This online course provides a basic introduction to Scrum and allows participants to start using Scrum after only two days while learning about the Scrum process framework, roles, events and artifacts.

Useful agile practices, such as relative estimation, product backlog refinement with stories from hardware development, story mapping and release planning, are taught. Common mistakes, like flexible timeboxes, unproductive retrospectives, ad-hoc tasks and many more, will be discussed.  Special attention will be paid to specific features of interdisciplinary system development.

Instead of long theory, participants will find themselves in the first sprint after less than an hour. In combination with short theory blocks Scrum will not only be taught but also understood and internalized.

The course lays the foundation for further training such as the certification courses Professional Scrum Master or Professional Scrum Product Owner.
