Course Description
A complete Scrum course divided into multiple modules. Each module consists of multiple sections ending with a quiz that helps solidify the knowledge.
The course covers all core Scrum framework elements such as:
Scrum Events,
Scrum Responsibilities,
Scrum Artifacts,
but also comes with additional modules devoted to Scrum values (a new segment added to Scrum Guide in 2016), differences between the agile and waterfall approaches (to help the student get the broader perspective) and the Scrum Master certification.
All of those modules, combined with a one on one support, Q&A section and additional materials provided by the course authors form a complete package. This Scrum package can serve as a knowledge base for those who are already working with Scrum or agile, those who have only heard about it and want to fully understand its principles and to those who are preparing for the Scrum Master certification.
The course was created by two agile enthusiasts who work with Scrum teams and experience Scrum every day. Jarek and Paweł are Scrum Masters who started their adventure with IT projects in a waterfall environment, then worked with multiple teams on introducing the agile change and are currently working as Scrum Masters. Their professional experience allowed them to obtain the „full image” of the agile methodology (and the Scrum framework in particular) and how it relates to the waterfall approach.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This course is not an official preparation for the Professional Scrum Master™ I (PSM I) certification by Scrum(.)org and it is not connected with this organization. We also highly recommend the official Scrum trainings offered by this them.

Good material. I think the amount of topics covered during the last few videos on Sprint Retrospective can be presented in a more effective way. It seemed like the videos were just dumping concept upon concept at the end, just to get done.

a very comprehensive and insightful course.
By Marc Hage on 10/15/2020
nice, short and sweet. EDIT: Contains some differences between what is said and what is on the slides (wrong numbers). As I recall it doesn't mention spike(s).
