Scrum Alliance Scrum Foundations


  • Traditional Classroom: 1-day
  • Virtual Instructor-led: Two 3-3.5 hour sessions; Three 2-hour sessions

This comprehensive workshop introduces participants to Scrum. This course covers content that the Scrum Alliance® requires to be covered before or during a foundational Scrum Alliance offering (CSM® and CSPO®). While every implementation of Scrum is different, and teams and organizations apply Scrum within their content, the fundamental framework always remains the same. This framework is what the course focuses on.

Certification candidates are expected to build a comprehensive body of knowledge of the Scrum framework, including its roles, events, and artifacts. Incorporating Scrum principles and practices takes diligence, patience, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Scrum is a framework, not a prescriptive methodology.


Target Audience

Individuals who will benefit from this workshop include executives, business sponsors, portfolio managers, program managers, product managers, project managers, project team leaders, project team members, project subject matter experts, project management office staff, and anyone interested in learning more about Scrum or those who plan to obtain the Scrum Alliance certifications of Certified ScrumMaster (CSM®) or Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO®).
