The Scrum Framework: Understand, apply and certify officially (Professional Scrum Master PSM1 or Professional Product Owner PSPO1)

You're serious? So are we. Become a certified coach and agile expert with SCRUM

SCRUM provides a framework that is perfectly suited for agile working. This has been established and proven: SCRUM is the most widespread agile method worldwide and its massive success compared to classical methods has been proven in many studies (cf. among others the study "Status Quo Agile" of the University of Koblenz). Living out roles in everyday professional life - that's what matters!
