Introduction
This two day course provides a practical introduction to Agile Software Development using Scrum. Scrum is an agile process for software development. With Scrum, projects progress via a series of iterations called sprints. Each sprint is typically 2-4 weeks long. Scrum is ideally suited for projects with rapidly changing or highly emergent requirements.

The course teaches the concepts of short delivery cycles, working with changing requirements and empirical process control. Students will learn how to work in deliver software in time-boxed iterations, hold Scrum meetings, manage work backlogs and prioritize work to satisfy business need. They will also learn how, in a changing environment, to keep high quality code, design software and discover requirements. This course gives an overview of technical and management practices for Scrum.
