About the course:
Learn how to manage large-scale Scrum / Agile projects
Scaled Professional Scrum™ (SPS) Training Course - learn how to successfully build a solid team, create a robust structure, and effectively launch a large Scrum / Agile project.
In this 2-day training workshop you will learn through tried-and tested practical exercises to organise and simulate a scaled software development project.
You will learn the tools, infrastructure and methods needed for a successful Scrum / Agile project.
In SPS, you will be introduced to the Nexus framework and walk through forming and managing a Nexus, the core development unit of SPS. This experience will help you understand the techniques, philosophies, and challenges that Ken Schwaber and Scrum.org have learned through years of formulating and coaching scaled Scrum projects.
