The four tools and techniques you work with, and the skills you leave with.

Core artifact

Scrum boards

The visible flow of work in a sprint, from To Do to Done, timeboxed and kept honest.

Measurement

Velocity & burndown

The metrics that show whether a sprint is on track, and what to change before the next one.

Skills you leave with

Twelve skills from the course, grouped the way the work actually splits - the framework, the sprint, and the people.

  • Project management

Planning, estimating and measuring the work, sprint after sprint.

06 Career impact

Every Agile team has one question: who here can make Scrum actually work?

These are the roles that rely on exactly this skill set.

Where these skills are in demand

Scrum Master

The role this course maps to most directly: facilitating events, removing blockers and coaching the team on the framework.

Product Owner

Owning the backlog, setting Sprint goals and keeping stakeholders aligned on what gets built next.

Agile Project Manager

Bringing Agile delivery to projects with real constraints: team capacity, velocity and deadlines.

Agile Coach

Guiding several teams through adoption, and sustaining Agile practices once the initial push is over.

Release Train Engineer

Coordinating many Scrum teams under SAFe, where Scrum of Scrums and dependency management matter most.

Delivery Manager

Tracking sprint performance with velocity and burndown, and reporting outcomes to leadership.

Business Analyst

Turning requirements into a refined backlog, and working inside the sprint rather than ahead of it.

Engineering Team Lead

Running a cross-functional Development Team that plans honestly and ships every sprint.
