Scrum Fundamentals and Industry Planning Techniques

You'll learn how Scrum is applied in real industry settings. Module one covers advanced Agile methodologies, Scrum for complex projects and hybrid environments, Agile maturity models, and the Product Owner and Scrum Master roles. Module two covers sprint planning with real-world constraints, Jira and Confluence for backlog grooming and tracking, and estimation with story points, Planning Poker and T-shirt sizing. Module three covers retrospectives, standups, dependencies, risks, conflict and sprint reviews.

No. Coursera lists this as a beginner-level course, and it's the first course in the specialization. Some familiarity with how teams work on projects helps, but Jira, Confluence and Trello are shown step by step in module two, so you don't need to know them beforehand.

The current enrollment options and price for your region are shown on the Coursera course page. The course is included with a Coursera Plus subscription, and Coursera's financial aid is available for eligible learners. Enrollment also includes the whole Agile Excellence with Scrum specialization track.

About 14 hours of total learning across 3 modules, 39 video lessons, 9 readings and 12 assignments. Coursera estimates 1 week at 10 hours a week. It's fully self-paced - deadlines flex around your schedule, not the other way round.

Each module has three practice quizzes, one per lesson, and a one-hour graded quiz at the end - 12 assignments in all. Along the way you work through real-world Agile case studies, a sprint estimation case study from an IT project, and real-world sprint review scenarios.

Yes - this page is Board Infinity's own overview of our course. Enrollment, payment, video lessons, grading and the certificate all happen on Coursera, where the course is hosted. Think of this page as the detailed tour before you head there.

Yes. Completing the graded quizzes earns you a shareable certificate from Board Infinity, issued through Coursera with its own verification link. You can add it to your LinkedIn profile, resume or CV, and the same completed work counts toward the full specialization certificate.

Yes. Teams across software, IT and business functions run in sprints, and they need people who can plan realistically, estimate well, keep stakeholders aligned and run events that actually improve the team. Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Agile project managers and team leads all use this skill set every week.

Two ways. The certificate goes in your LinkedIn Licenses & Certifications section via Coursera's one-click add. Just as valuable is naming the skills: a line like “Planned and estimated sprints in Jira using story points and Planning Poker, and ran retrospectives and sprint reviews for cross-functional teams” gives interviewers something concrete to ask about.

It covers Scrum roles, events and planning practices that overlap with what Scrum certifications test, so it's useful background. It isn't official training for any certification body, and the Board Infinity certificate you earn is issued through Coursera.

The next two courses of the specialization: Crafting Effective User Stories in Agile - Agile Excellence (course 2, ~13 hours) for scaling Scrum, Lean and DevOps, and metrics, and Backlog Mastery, Product Ownership, and Industry Tools (course 3, ~13 hours) for backlog prioritization and product ownership. Enrolling in this course automatically enrolls you in the specialization.
